Of course another problem is that The Simpsons is 400 episodes old, much longer than normal sitcoms run. They're running out of ideas clearly and I've seen a lot of rehashes within the past few seasons.

Running 400 episodes and 20 years is great and all, but there's a point where you just say "okay, go back to so-and-so episode and get a general idea for an episode". They started going really south around the 300th episode, and it's commendable that they made it that far.

And another thing I want to just mention. People who say "OMG Family Guy stole from the Simpsons" are idiots. Of course they did, everyone does it, they've run for 20 years. But they don't fucking STEAL from them blatantly, the things people complain about are usually general storylines like gambling addiction (Marge/Lois). I'll bet if you go back, you can find at least one show that did this-or-that BEFORE the Simpsons and at least one after the Simpsons. Does it mean they stole directly from them? No. It just means that, as the South Park episode came out and said, The Simpsons already did it.

Jeritron I think you're missing my point here, the Simpsons creators DID have the balls to do serious storylines and try and inject some relavent satire into there, but its all gone, the charm of the show, what made it so good for so many years has gone and been replaced by just...Stale Family Guy-esque randomness which does nothing for me as far as the Simpsons go

I kinda agree, I was just stressing that I feel Simpsons was superior than Family Guy ever has been or is, and will probably forever go down that way. Simpsons has run it's course, but the characters and popularity are still there and probably always will be. I just think they should end the show and let it live on in legend.

lol, yeah Simpsons despite its complete downturn will always be superior to Family Guy imo, purely because when it was at its peak it was just amazing

I've always been partial to the Bart the General episode from season one.
