User blog comment:SonicFan/Why so much hate for The Simpsons?/@comment-10742294-20161025233255

I don't hate The Simpsons (duh) but I have a few theories (sorry for almost writting an essay):


 * When The Simpsons started, it was almost alone, one of the few adult animated sitcoms out there. Nowadays, there's tons of other shows like it. To mention a few: Family Guy, American Dad!, Bob's Burgers, Gravity Falls, South Park, Rick and Morty, etc. This made the fandom spread out as they found something else that better fits their taste.
 * Some fans just can't accept the fact that the show has over 600 episodes now. Using what I've said before, older episodes had no competition, so they're considered great (not that they aren't), but because fans have probably seen better things from other shows by now, the show is falling behind, even though new episodes can be as good as classic Simpsons.
