Please Stop Making Me Hate The Simpsons

I think the moral of this story is that one shouldn't watch shows on Fox, because you will inevitably be disappointed, whether its due to them canceling a show prematurely or letting one go on for too long. I liked the Simpsons, back in the day. Now it just feels forced and repetitive.
I miss Firefly. I know it wasn't for everyone, but I think it would have been absolutely amazing had they let it run. Or if someone had picked it up. Or if they would have just told us what was up with the Shepherd. It was a full universe, not just a single story line.
And just because...
Wash: " this landing is gonna get pretty interesting."
Mal: "Define interesting."
Wash: "Oh god oh god we're all gonna die?"
Mal: "This is the captain. We have a...little problem with our engine sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then...explode."

it used to be that you could watch individual episodes of the simpsons after the season had it's run and have a good laugh. right now I'm not sure if there area even individual gag that are worth watching. And Family guy is just so much funnier(if you are into that kind of humor)
Glee is meh, I never liked it the concept is high school musical, only in sitcom form. I have no problem with people who watch it, I have trouble with people who make it out to be the best show ever made (the people I refer to as Gleetards), It runs Family Guy and American Dad because as we all all know, animated "Slice of life" sitcoms are guaranteed to do well (They have yet to suffer from the ravages of age). House is good if a bit predictable, they guess disease, get it wrong, house shows up, calls everyone else idiots and cures patient, rinse and repeat (Don't get me wrong I love House). Secondly Bashing Fox for dropping series is kind of a moot point if you look at the wall of series they've run over the years if anything Fox is willing to let try out new things.
Titus was another show that got cut down despite being three seasons' worth of gold. Hell, it even got into some really dark territory like suicide, child abuse, rape, and homophobia that gave it some hefty moments that most shows don't.
Arrested = Good.
Futurama = airing on comedy central.
King of the hill?
Also, I'd like them to cancel anything related to family guy. And that includes those other copy pastas by that guy, but that'll never happen, you know what, hell, jst get that preachy ass hole out of TV in general. I can dream, can't I?

I only watch the TV Show every once in a while. At the moment, the comics are, in my opinion, a lot better than the TV Show. That, and it's a lot easier to go back and enjoy the comics again and again. Sure, they're not canon to the TV show, but the writers work with that to do insane stuff that the show could never get away with. Like an issue about how the world would change if the Comic Book Guy were to die.

Though I do agree with everyone can find it funny.
Personally I don't think anyone thinks they're clever by getting a joke on The simpsons.Therumancer said:

To me, it seems that Fox isn't big on keeping their shows. Some of them I find funny end up being cancelled with only 1 to 2 seasons. The last show I remember on Fox that got cancelled was Sit Down and Shut Up. It was okay, but I only watched cause Kenan voiced the principal.
But, if the Tick had done better we might not have the venture bros. and I would rather have that.
Kind of funny that I have all the shows on DVD.

Yeah, Fox is a bunch of dolts. Family Guy has pulled that "list as many fox shows that have been canceled" bit twice now and is probably looking for a third sometime soon.
Looking back, I'm not even sure Simpsons was ever really that funny, Rather just unique and given a lot of nostalgic points. Maybe it was the 2 times a day seven days a week syndication, but I'm really tired of even the early stuff I used to enjoy. (for the record, the same happened to futurama. After so many season, it struggles to come up with anything new to do. Describing a recent episode to a friend I basically said it was Bart's lastest run-in with Nelson and Lisa's annual identity crisis. The shows still good for a few eipsodes a season, but tow are usually the halloween episode and the short story episode with one or two good ones snuck in between. In fairness, Family Guy and South Park suffer the same problem with less garuntee of a good episode and Seth McFarlane's other two shows don't even get that.
Of course we all know when the Simpsons will end: The day when they are faced with replacing one of those half dozen voice actors that do dozens of characters. They can't last forever.

I really hope that live-action clip of was posted by accident, because there is no way in hell anyone enjoyed that tripe over the hilariously superior cartoon; the live-action Tick came off as a cheeky and sad parody of itself, as if the franchise became self-aware and decided to spontaneously combust itself in favor of Steve Martin-esque piss-and-fart jokes.
How many Arrested Development fans who complain about it getting cancelled actually watched it when it first aired? How many of those fans are currently watching either The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret or Running Wilde? If you don't watch either of those two shows, then you have absolutely no right to complain.
And why no mention of Andy Richter Controls The Universe? That show was genius.

I always hated Fox after cancelling Keen Eddie and John Doe. Man those were two awesome gems of the television, yet, they lasted little to nothing. I forgave Titus, because I knew what was going on ont the background, and even if Fox were to blame, it was business alright. But those 3 series should lasted longer and The simpsons had to end long ago, I stopped watching it around the 5th.
