I dont really think so. But the older ones are funnier, so not bad but not as good.

The old ones were definitely better than the new ones. I guess the movie will make up for it.

I think it's gone bad, (for now hopefuly) its not really funny anymore, usualy only one funny joke (to me) in an episode. There running out of ideas, lots of episode's storys are really dumb or don't make sense, and they also seem to be cramming as much dialouge into a 22 min. tv show, because the characters are yelling and talking faster which gives me a headache. And many of the great writers/producers have left the show. Hopfully it will get better because the simpsons is one of my favorite shows.

It's not that it got bad, I think it's that we just got tired of it. Something can only last for so long.

You try running a show for 20 years without it going stale.

"24" can't even get past 6 without reusing old material

The Simpsons had a huge cult following when it was big.  Unfortunately a show like the simpsons isn't something that can just be cancelled gracefully

I don't watch The Simpsons new seasons very often, I preffer watching the old episodes. Yet I am still a die-hard and loyal Simpsons fan.

It was great back in its heyday, but after almost 20 years on the air, something's gotta give.  I really wan't the movie to be good, but I'm having some doubts. I think if the film's not sucessful, Fox is probably gonna start thinking about the future of the show...maybe possible cancellation if the show doesn't improve qualitywise.
