'The Simpsons' was the best show on TV until about 2000 or so, but the quality of the writing has really gone downhill, along with the unfortunate decision to make the most annoying, least interesting character (Lisa) the star. Groening should try to resurrect 'Futurama' and let Marge, Homer and Bart get some rest.

As Bart Simpson skips into his 18th season 18 seasons? Lessee... Yep. Damn, I'm getting old.

It's last great seasons were seven and eight. Since then, they put out one or two great episodes per year. But the rest, while usually having funny lines, are nowhere near the old days.
Gotta' disagree about Lisa! She's the MOST interesting character. Of my all time favorites, most of them are centered on her.

The Simpsons is one of the best shows ever but its time has past and they've run out of new ideas. 18 years is a long time for a show. They should have followed the lead of Sienfield and quit when they were still on the top of their game.

The "NeverEnding Story" episode this past season was pretty decent!

Not worth a new thread, but I came across
this [every Simpsons episode in a streaming "You Tube" kind of format] and it reminded me of this post of yours.
