''Last night's Itchy and Scratchy was, without a doubt, the worst episode ever! Rest assured I was on the internet within minutes registering my disgust throughout the world." - Comic Book Guy, "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show".

Let me begin my first blog by outlining the key themes of this and any future posts I make. I love The Simpsons. It's the greatest show of all-time. Its episodes will never cease to be funny. It also ended in 1998. What's aired since has had occasional flashes of quality but overall has been nothing short of crap. "The Simpsons" since, at best, season 10 is quite simply not the same show that aired before. Sure the people are still yellow and they live in a town called Springfield, but that's about it. I, like many fans, hate what the show has become. It's just awful. It's not still funny. It's not getting better and it definitely is not better than 95% of other TV shows. Put simply, I just want this show to end.

"Fan complaining", as it were, is not a new area. Just as the writers have dismissed it for the past 10 years, I'm sure there are fans who do as well because for whatever reason they still like the show. As such, rather than just ranting I'm going to try and make some explanations in this blog (if I can be bothered) about why this show is awful now, looking at different areas. Or something.

I'll end with a link to a much beter blog than this will be. Dead Homer Society is a fantastic blog about why the show is now gone. I urge you all to take a look.
