The Simpsons Jump Shark, Dismember the Corpse, and Go After It's Family
Free Republic ^ | 3/22//10 | Self (Shameless Vanity)

Did anybody catch The Simpsons last night.

I realize the show became worthless some time ago, but I still watch it out of habit. I wish it were not so, because then I would have been spared the disgusting display of toadying and kissing up to Michelle Obama in last night's show.

Never again.

The simpsons jumped the shark a long time ago and not because of its politics, the humor has gotten old and stale

Agreed. The Simpsons jumped the shark in the late 1990s. It should of gotten a pink slip.

The Simpsons have been so over for at least 5 years.

The last Simpson episode I ever watched was the vicious treatment of the death of Ned Flanders’ wife. One of the ugliest things I’ve ever had the misfortune of watching on television.

Yeah it ruined the episode of the Simpsons. But what really ticked me off was when I went to watch Family Guy and they started out with a school musical about Terri Schiavo, I stopped the DVR and won’t watch that show again. I can take a joke but talk about dancing on someone’s grave.

The Simpsons got old for me long, long ago.

Though I do thank you for watching it for me so I do not have to.

You'll be happy to note that the Simpson's artists drew her slim and trim. You wouldn't have known it was her, except she was standing in front of a Marine helicopter saying "I'm Michelle Obama"...

Well, I am resigning as Designated Watcher. Somebody else is going to have to step up to that role.

I threw up a little in my mouth. They sucked up so much to Michelle they could have taken the chrome off a bumper.

Family Guy makes me laugh once in a while, but mostly the humor is crude and disgusting. Pure shock value. I’m not a regular viewer anymore. The Schiavo thing was in such bad taste, I changed the channel last night. Wont be tuning in next week.

I thought they took her death pretty seriously. Ned Flanders was in considerable mourning and Homer was going out of his way to help him cope.

"And a chrome trailer hitch."

Or a golf ball through a garden hose.

Ah...it wasn't that bad. M.O.'s appearance sorta fit the story and they dinged her a bit, not much I admit, in the skit. I liked Ralphie getting dibs on flotus..."Cause I wear my floaties when I swim!"

I'd give the episode a 7.
