Random short rant #1: The Simpsons
by Hellbean on Jun.29, 2010, under Uncategorized
Welcome to the first installment of random short rant, in which I will be making a short rant (1-2 paragraphs) about something that is worth ranting, but isn’t bothering enough to make a long rant about.
In this first installment, I’ll be covering the decline of quality in the show The Simpsons.
The thing about The Simpsons is it was a very good show when it first came out. Seasons 1-9 were superb, with a few bad episodes. Then, sadly, it started its decline. I won’t go into which episodes started it, since I honestly don’t know, but what I’m trying to say is: The Simpsons now sucks. Season 20 was terrible. So was 21.
I can’t explain what’s the problem with The Simpsons, really. I mean, the jokes are worse now, the plot is worse, but why? I can’t explain it. It just feels like the older episodes were more meaningful. Remember the episode were it was revealed that Jebediah Springfield was actually a bloodthirsty pirate? It just feels like The Simpsons has become a parody of itself. Homer isn’t a loveable idiot anymore, he is a punching bag. Bart isn’t the classic badboy he used to be, he is a wimp.
That’s all folks.
