    I completely disagree.

    If you don’t like the new episodes of the Simpsons then stop watching. This whole open letter is the author crying that the Simpsons isn’t as good as it used to be and that they don’t enjoy it anymore. They’re honest enough to point out that some people do enjoy it. Yes, are there fewer people that enjoy the show now than used to. Yes, the best seasons and the “golden age” are over. But honestly if you don’t enjoy the show just stop watching.

    I like The Simpsons. I like the newer seasons. I laugh at the newer episodes.

      This. I don’t understand this weird desire to get a show cancelled only because you don’t watch it anymore. Seems really egoistic.

      I loved the Simpsons. To me there’s about 10 seasons. I can go back and enjoy it whenever I want.

      The fact that it keeps going doesn’t affect that. It is keeping lots of people employed, and entertained. I hate the new Simpsons and that’s my problem to deal with which I do by not watching.

        I watched some of the newer episodes out of boredom. I was really surprised! They’re pretty good.

        They’re not all incredible or anything. But they have a lot more soul to them than a lot of the obvious celebrity circle jerk episodes of the mid 2000s.
