Scott Hartnell's Mane Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Well that's your opinion. Many people liked the majority of the last 10 seasons, which would explain why Simpsons won this tournament. Link to comment

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 If we're lucky we get the next installment by 2014. I feel like I have a better chance of winning the lottery as a minor unable to purchase lottery tickets. Link to comment
Master Mind Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Critics' reviews of early Simpsons episodes praised the show for its wit, realism, and intelligence. In the late 1990s, around the airing of season ten, the tone and emphasis of the show began to change. Some critics started calling the show "tired". By 2000, some long-term fans had become disillusioned with the show and pointed to its shift from character-driven plots to what they perceived as an overemphasis on zany antics. The BBC noted "the common consensus is that The Simpsons' golden era ended after season nine", while Todd Leopold of CNN, in an article looking at its perceived decline, stated "for many fans [...] the glory days are long past." Jim Schembri of the The Sydney Morning Herald called the show "a cultural touchstone for at least two—possibly three—generations of couch potatoes", but claimed that the show has declined in quality. He attributed this decline in quality to an abandonment of character-driven storylines in favour of and overuse of celebrity cameo appearances and references to popular culture. Schembri wrote: "The central tragedy of The Simpsons is that it has gone from commanding attention to merely being attention seeking. It began by proving that cartoon characters don't have to be caricatures; they can be invested with real emotions. Now the show has in essence fermented into a limp parody of itself. Memorable story arcs have been sacrificed for the sake of celebrity walk-ons and punchline-hungry dialogue." From Wikipedia. Link to comment
Master Mind Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I can think of several other reasons why the played out Simpsons won a tournament on CDC. Has a lot to do with the juvenile nature of the humor. Link to comment
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 A critic's report, he must be right! Yeah the show isn't as good as it used to be, but it was still good up until a few seasons ago imo. That's exactly what all this is, opinion. Your opinion and my opinion are just as valid as the next person's. Link to comment

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 it just happens to be the correct one. Link to comment

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Which is why it's silly to argue over it. There will always be people who like/dislike every show. Link to comment
BananaMash Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Take me for example, I enjoy American Dad and (early) Family Guy (the newer they are the worst they get...) and I also enjoyed Ted. No one will agree with me here but whatever, they make me laugh. I watch Simpons still, it has it's moments, but I personally think it's far from the best show on television. In fact, and this is something I say often, there is no such thing as 'best' anything really, no 'best' tv show, no 'best' guitarist, no 'best' pie eater, it's more like 'personal favorite'.

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I would disagree, but I have to charge up my argument for four episodes first. Link to comment
Lil B From The Pack Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 DBZ is best show Link to comment
Argon Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I dunno bout the rest of you, but I wasn't voting for the past years, but as a complete show. So if Seinfeld was a show until 2002, I would have voted for that one based on its entire show length. Link to comment
GLASSJAW Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 it's embarrassing to see people who don't know about HBO discuss their favourite tv shows Link to comment
