I can't process how the Simpsons went from being the coolest thing on tv as a kid to bring easily the worst poo poo i have ever seen.

remember that poo poo being concerning, like "WHOA SHOULD WE LET KIDS WATCH THIS??"

I wonder if the change was more of a generational target audience thing as the idea of "crazy vietnam guy" kinda stopped resonating with younger people or they just got lazy/more ZANY with it

I just don't get how they can't find like a single funny writer. Is this a WWE situation where they keep the writing staff purposely lovely and insular because they know they can just coast on the core fans?

I really think it's a combination of running out of fresh ideas for the same group of characters after decades, and trying to follow family guy wacky humor trends. If my quick googling is correct the simpsons is literally the longest lasting show on TV other than news programs. The well is freakin' dried up, I think.
