The missus could not believe it when she first saw some '70s/'80s Britcom - the switch from VT to film and back as Compo fell over a hedge/Margo fell over some chickens/Rodney fell over a dog. She thought it was laughable. Ah, but who's laughing now, eh?

people actually expect this thread to be funny even tho it's talking about stuff which isn't funny, and use uppercase to empthasise their outrage, as if they've been deceived somehow?

are you denying my assertion that this thread is not funny? Things that are also not funny: Darfur, coffee beans.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

no i just think having three different people single this thread out now is a bit harsh. altho Family Guy is still winning in this respect. i have to agree about coffee beans being unfunny tho.

Holy cow, Drawn Together is spectacularly awful! Worst fucking show on the air!

Michael is OTM. Everyone involved with this show should have at least one of their fingers chopped off for being involved with something so dull and ugly.

And then they'll pull back the corners of their eyes with their (remaining) fingertips and be all "ching chong bing bong" because tired racial humor = EDGY!

and can someone explain to me exactly HOW the simpsons has gone downhill?

Season 1 was the Groening/Simon/Brooks, whatever that means to you. Sam Simon hires the Army Man staff as writers, most notably, George Meyer and John Swartzwelder.

Season 2 was still crediting them, but Al Jean & Mike Reiss were doing much of their work. The show starts to get funny.

Al & Mike take over totally in season 3 and were scared as first-time showrunners, demanding as many rewrites as possible. Full on funny.

After season 4, Al & Mike left to do The Critic, which I never watched...because...Jon Lovitz NOT FUNNY

Dave Mirkin took over the Simpsons in seasons 5 & 6. Mirkin is kinda funny, but hits you over the head with the joke (followed by lengthy explanations of each joke on the commentary track).

Mirkin was the man behind Chris Elliot's Get a Life, which I only thought was funny in its final season.

Even worse was that John Swartzwelder, an adamant supporter of smoker's rights, was no longer allowed to smoke in the rewrite room as of season 6, so he began submitting scripts form home and not attending rewriting sessions.

Mirkin lost out to newcomers Bill Oakly & Josh Weinstein, who worked with the writers at the Harvard lampoon long before any of them got jobs as writers in tv. Bill & Josh were hardcore Simpsons fans and wanted to overthrow Mirkin's big-dumb reign and return it to Al & Mike's style, which they did greatly in nearly all of season 7 and most of season 8.

Ironically, Al & Mike returned for like 3 episodes in season 8, which ended up being mirkin-esque duds (eg the x-files ep)

Everything at this point ranges from excellent to good. But...

Mike Scully took over after that, and was extremely hit or miss (mostly miss). He lasted from seasons 9-12. Anything after season 10 makes me violently angry.

Fans complained greatly about Scully. Al Jean took the show back over, but by then, the writing staff had MUCH turnover, so there was no saving it, even with george meyer on staff.

The movie is going to fucking suckkkkk

We can argue about the merits of old snl all day long, most likely creating a best of in our collective heads, but new SNL hasn't made me even crack a smile once.

I feel like they're not telling jokes, they're telling me they're telling jokes.

Well, then again, one never knows his particular kink.

are you suggesting the former representative enjoyed his hot lunches, hot carls, and glass-bottom boats served up by strapping young bucks?
