Matt Groening’s Garbage
I just saw an all-new episode of The Simpsons and I was extremely disappointed.
It wasn’t the fact that the entire episode was just a heavy-handed jack-off about how stupid the American military and the people who support it are that bugged me so much; it was that it was unfunny. I didn’t laugh once. I usually don’t when I’m being lectured instead of being entertained.
The Simpsons is unquestionably one of the greatest comedies in the history of television, but I don’t remember the last time I enjoyed watching it. The past couple of seasons? I may have looked in on a couple episodes. In light of its former self, The Simpsons has become a disgrace and a burden to sit through.
Oh, yeah —and they also ran a trailer of the upcoming movie. It looks like it’s going to suck just as hard as the series does. Do they even make episodes anymore where Homer doesn’t just scream and get hurt?
What a tiresome load of crap The Simpsons has become. It’s a disaster. How can Matt Groening even look at himself in the mirror anymore? The only conceivable reason why he continues with The Simpsons is for money. It cannot be because he believes it’s still artistically or culturally relevant.
