Comedy is supposed to make you laugh right? In about 5 seasons the Simpsons has made laugh enough to like one or two episodes.
The other episodes made me question how anything so bad could still be called comedy. It was like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_movie. It made me wonder if Fox had fired the entire writing team and hired Friedberg and Seltzer as writers to save money. Even the recent Banksy introduction was terrible.
I've come to the conclusion that even if the entire Simpsons writing crew was sacked and replaced with 1x10^10000000000 clones of Chuck Norris, it would still struggle to save the Simpsons from stagnation and irrelevance.
