[quote name='Strell']No it's not. It's not classic Simpsons style in any way. Homer has always been a luvable dumbass, but you almost could
always see some kind of rationale behind it. Cook lots of bacon to sell the fat? That I can sort of see the gears working. Now it's like they took Peter Griffin logic and shot it full of sugar and Mentos, and then decided that wasn't
enough. Why not have
all the characters lose every last semblance of what they used to be, and instead cameo
all of them with every last one-liner we can possibly think of?
This new era of Homer-is-Bart's-friend-Lisa-is-a-total-bitch-Marge-is-
ing-clueless-Let's-
-up-every-convention-we've-already-
ed-up-once-before bullshit wore thin about 3 minutes after it began, right about the time I tuned into some episode where there was a theme park ride about Enron.
It was probably before that actually, but I was so disgusted with the show that I wasn't paying close enough attention to keep track.[/QUOTE]
can't say I'm as disgruntled about it as you, but yeah, I'm not as in to it now that it's so slapstick.
the problem is, it can't match Family Guy in that realm since the show is so depraved and filled with messed up characters. Homer would never chase Lisa while farting on her until she threw up from it. :lol:
