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!

Yeah I agree, the Simpsons have gotten a little less funny over the past two seasons. As much as I hate to say it, I think maybe they either need to hire some new writing talent, or end the show now while they're on a semi-high note. It seems like the episodes have no cohesion anymore--like they start off doing one thing then all of a sudden the show does a 180 degree turn and becomes something else completely. I love the Simpsons and I've watched them ever since they were on the Tracy Ullman Show, but I'd hate to see it burn out and become an embarrassment.

DOH! ;-)
