Only one channel hereabouts get's it regularly and I don't get that channel, but maybe once a year the backlog gets chucked on another channel every night for a week or two and I see some epsiodes. What I do get to see is of much lesser quality then back in the day. I hear Conan O'Brien's Stint is considered the golden era, I'm not American and not familiar with him but I'd say that yeah back about 10-15 years ago was the best. They seem rather lacklustre now and all seem to follow the same plot. Homer does soemthing for about 5 minutes, the result of which cause the trouble with which the episode is about. It seems like they can't come up with a whole show and so pad out the first 5 minutes with some only vaguely conencted stuff. I have focused my attention on Seth Mc'Farlane's stuff these days, mainly because it's actually on tv here and the DVD's don't have a horrendous back catalogue I'm unfamiliar with. That and Futurama I look forward to. I realise some people accuse him of ripping off the Simpsons but Simpsons is in part a rip off of Flintstones after all. I'm fickle. If you want me to stay loyal then keep me interested. I lost interest. Seth Mc'Farlane put it in a way I can identify with. The Simpsons was good but you can't go for something like 20 years and still have the same quality. I always think of the Star Trek default of 7 years. Get out while things are still good. It just looks to me like they were getting tired and decided it was way, way, overdue to get the inevitable movie out. I don’t see much Simpsons these days.
