I love the Simpsons. Absolutely love it... but I HATE the new episodes. They're not funny. The humour is on par with a guy photocopying his butt. Redundent, overused, and just plain not funny.
I don't understand why FOX would renew the Simpsons, which has been overplayed in my opinion, but cancel an awesome show like Family Guy which had WAY more potential, as the Simpsons have used every idea possible.
And the producers of the Simpsons have been toying with an idea for a movie for years! Actually, Mike Reiss one of the writers came to my University last semester. He was absolutely hilarious, but that's beside the point. Anyway, he told us that the episode "Kamp Krusty" was originally one of their ideas for a movie, and that was what? About 10 years ago. Anyway, turns out "Kamp Krusty" is actually the shortest episode ever made, about 17 minutes to be exact. So I really don't think there's ever going to be a movie, and if there ever was, I wouldn't pay good money to see it.
Summary
Old Simpsons = Funny
New Simpsons = Not funny
