As I said in another thread, I absolutely loved The Simpsons until season 9 (1997-1998). The next few seasons were pretty good, but the series just kept getting worse and worse, and I no longer even bother to watch the new episodes. While the show still has funny moments, the humor became more random and nonsensical (a la Family Guy), there were less tender moments, and new writers often resorted to gimmicks as they found little new territory to explore with the characters (Patty's a lesbian, Lisa's a Buddhist, et cetera). The show also became a sort of parody of itself as writers retold the same jokes, and tried to establish a continuity that had never before existed. It ceased to be about a funny and lovable family, and more about "nutty" characters getting into "wacky" situations. Back in 2003, the online magazine Slate wrote a a great editorial ([link=http://www.slate.com/id/2078501/]link[/link]) on the decling quality of The Simpsons which had become evident even back then.

Anyway, in my long-winded way, I'm saying that despite being an avid Simpsons fan, I'm not enthused about seeing The Simpsons Movie. I expect it to be in the same vein as the past seven or eight seasons, which is to say that it will probably be funny and entertaining in many ways, but will ultimately pale in comparison to the quality of show's heyday. Sadly, the show is also scheduled for another season, meaning that the lesser seasons are beginning to outnumber the great ones.
