Last nights simpsons

Did anyone else notice who was in the American criminal book. Peter(Family Guy) and Stan(American Dad) were in it for plaigerising. Do any of you think that these shows are rip- offs of The Simpsons? I don't. I think that they are the most funny and original animations to come out of America.If Matt Groening has to stoop to insulting them it is obvious that he feels threatened and he realises the last few series of The Simpsons aren't up to the high standard he set.

i agree with most of that but maybe Matt's just doing what other comedy writers have done over the years and giving his rivals a bit of stick just for the fun of it

Does the Simpsons ever run out of steam? My kids love them and I just don't
get it. I mean its modestly funny but nothing like as tight and tense as it was
when it first came out......

yeah its not as good as it used to be. actually its funny i've just been going through transcripts on the web and laughing my a** off at some of the captain mc allister lines:
