i absolutely cannot watch the latest episodes as i've said before - i don't think a show like this is meant to go on as long as this one has and the attempts to do something fresh always come off 'half-cock' to me. old jokes cynically rehashed mutter mutter, characters lost all charm yadda yadda, saw a clip of the new one where they visit England - Tony Blair is there to greet them at the airport, Homer gives him a dollar...sigh...

King of the Hill kicks all y'alls asses. I've said this before, but I think it's weird when people trash the Simpsons because they say it doesn't have "heart" anymore, but then they don't watch KOTH, which has more "heart" than the Simpsons ever had, and plus, it's now funnier than the Simpsons. Peggy fucking rulz.

my brother made a shitty Julius Caesar movie for English class and he tried to do that same POV misdirection joke and it came out so badly

I've heard from a couple of friends that even as the show's declined the Treehouse of Horror episodes are apparently still very good. guessing it's because it allows them to do a lot of weird/format-busting stuff rather than "Chief Wiggum runs into his old high school crush, voiced by Anne Hathaway" type shit. the Serious Flanders episode was like that too, in fact that struck me as one of the few modern episodes where they actually seemed to enjoy making it
