I just want to come out and say it.
I’m drunk!
Don’t judge me, I am allowed to Drink and Blog, there is no crime in that. However, if there is a lot of spelling errors and bad grammer…. Don’t you judge me.
This evening while enjoying a few alcoholic beverages to celebrate my successful surgery (if you want to see photos, let me know in the comments below) I stumbled upon an exciting article about the Simpsons.
The Truth about the Simpsons:
The reality is, the Simpsons isn’t as good as it once was. I am not sure the reason or want to argue the fact, but it isn’t.
Any show that has been on for 25 years is going to have a hard time even with some of the best writers and producers in the industry. Maybe it is because I’m older, but the show as a whole doesn’t seem as relevant and has lost its charm.
Which is sad to say because I consider Matt Groening one of my idols. Who else has been successful in both comic industry (Life in Hell & comic versions of his animated shows) and animation (Simpsons & Futurama)? No one, that’s who.

@jasonloveslife that’s everyone!

@jasonloveslife haha no, pretty much everyone everywhere agrees.

@jasonloveslife as soon as matt left with the original writers for futurama it was a wrap. the show has not been as funny or good since.

I want to thank everyone for responding. I only get my TV through the internet (netflix mostly) so I lose touch quickly. I also want to thank @El_JeffJeff because I didn’t realize Matt stopped writing on the show, but now it makes sense.
What I am excited for!!!
Even though I don’t actively watch the Simpsons, I haven’t for years, I do still enjoy the Halloween Episodes.
You can imagine how I felt in my intoxicated state when I learned that :
Guillermo del Toro directed the opening sequence!!!
Conclusion
So, I’m sitting down now to see if this year’s Simpson’s Halloween Special holds up to my expectations. I will tweet in a few hours what I think.

Till next time,
Jason Love
