Is it me, or has the Simpsons not all that funny anymore? I've been watching it a little recently... and the last three Sunday night shows have been *really* weak. Either I've grown too far from it's humor, or the humor it had just isn't there anymore. The writing seems very weak to me...

On a similar note... can we go back to one cartoon network? Or, can I get both? I like power puff girls just fine, but I Want to see some Herculoids, classic speed racer... All the cartoon network ever seems to show is its own hubbub. Has anyone come out with a 'Hong Kong action' network yet? I think it'd fit well with the 'romance' 'western' 'mystery' 'sci fi' themes... Sometimes I just want to see some guys hopping around muttering..."You killed the master, Drunken Tiger scorpion style!!" Hyah!

I'm feeling ya on this one, Scottobear....

"The Simpsons" used to be the epicenter of my Sunday evening. I always raced through dinner and the dishes so that I could devote 30 minutes of my undivided attention to the show.

These days, I don't even bother to watch it.....well, maybe the syndicated reruns (but I've seen 'em all so many times, I get bored with those too). Most Sundays I consciously think "Hmmm, Simpsons is on....Naaaaaah!"

I think I gave up on them because they sorta lost their edge. The humor isn't as sarcastic as it used to be...the dialogue isn't as clever. Instead, they seem to be falling back on celebrity guest voices and sappy story-lines.

It's really sad to see something great fizzle...

(Incidentally, I added you to my "Friends" list. I see you hanging 'round DarkTrain so much, you must be a good guy! Welcome.)

Thanks, Missy!

I guess I'm out of sync... it'd been about 2 years since I watched it, and it was a bit of a blow... very sad.

on a happy note, welcome to my LJ! :) Always a pleasure to have someone new on board, and if you come by way of DT, then I'm sure you're good people!

Don't mind if I rummage through your journal too, I hope!

Feel free to rummage through my little world.

Incidentally, it's MissV. I honestly don't care what you call me (I've been called worse), but there's also an LJ'er named Missy...and I wouldn't wantcha to be confused. (And besides, I'm WAY cooler! Hee!)

Whoops! Thanks for catching my error on that. 1000 pardons, MissV.
