I guess it is still okay, but compared to the under a decade seasons...Fr said:

Please Stop Making Me Hate The Simpsons

Actually FOX got a double-play with that one. First they canceled the cartoon and next they canceled the live-action show. The cartoon a.k.a. the real Tick, was one of the best things to happen to TV (I'd have to say the live-action... well.. sucked) Well Firefly might tie for that position though, of course!Necromancer1991 said:
Meh, I hated the Simpsons after an episode that aired maybe four years ago where it essentially stereotyped the Entire US Army, not just a few individuals, as a group of semi-retarded gun nuts. Not even Family Guy does that.
Anyway, as far as I'm concerned any good TV series has at most three good seasons in it, anything afterwards is just derivative, if not entertaining.
Edit: Primetime is 8-9 pm eastern, essentially. Let's see whose primetime is more interesting and in general good for humanity...
ABC: Super Nanny. What Would You Do? Extreme Makeover. Desperate Housewives. Skating with the Stars. Modern Family.
CBS: Big Bang Theory, Shit my Dad Says, CSI, The Mentalist, How I Met your Mother, NCIS
NBC: Community, 30 Rock, The Office, Minute to Win It, The Biggest Loser, Chase, Dateline
FOX: House, Lie to Me, Glee, Fringe, Bones, The Simpsons, Family Guy
Which would you rather watch? Fox is the best network right now for awesomely cool stuff, even if it sucks right now. Hate, but hate the other three more.

Wholy crap! Live action tick? Man I never knew this existed/was canceled. Now I'm both happy and sad.
im just glad they brought back futurama, that shows funny as hell. its also more mature humour but still good for kids to watch.
cant wait for more new episodes.

Thank you for remembering The Critic. It's one of my favorite shows and I have to stay up until three thirty in the morning to watch it on tv here(something which I gladly do).
This reminds me of what Channel 9 in Australia was doing with Farscape.
Now, for some reason that I can't quite verify, I get the feeling Fox had a hand in this. But of Course, Farscape was a US/Australian Co-production.
Regardless, it fell victim to precisely the same kind of rubbish as all the series you've mentioned here...
So, yeah.

Heh, I've never seen Arrested Development, Firefly, or The Tick. I hardly give live-action series a look (even if based on a comic). . .
Okay, now I want an apology, Elizabeth.
Why isn't King of the Hill on this list? I know it's in syndication on FOX, but that doesn't change the fact that the show was indeed canceled. And we're talking about a show that managed to grow a soul during the same period of time The Simpsons lost much of its own.
More than any other series cancellation in your list, I feel King of the Hill's cancellation as the hardest "slap in the face" from FOX.

I liked the Simpsons, thought it was good, if not really great. I was not a huge fan and I'm not usually affected that much by nostalgia.
This week I was zapping at the TV and watched some minutes of a recent episode (on Fox, don't know if it was the most recent season). In the time I watched there were about 5 or 6 jokes. All of them horrible, stupid and utterly unfunny. I really don't know how a show can get so bad.

To answer the question posed in this article:
approximately 100% of the American TV-watching public are idiots who will conform to whatever cultural trend they're told to conform to. That's why trends change so quickly; people are hypnotized by their magic box into following certain fads, like, say, these weird "Silly Bandz" that are popular among my age group right now.If people are convinced something is popular, then it becomes popular until they get bored with it and someone has to come up with a new way to make money.
Therefore:
1. I do not watch American TV, with the exception of PBS nature programs and the discovery channel. Thank god for BBC!
2. The Simpsons marches on because people are told that it's popular. If people got convinced that the Simpsons are dogshit,then they would stop watching it.
