Hate is a strong word.
Best analogy I can come up with is the Simpsons is like your child. No matter how much they screw up you still hope that they haven't shown you all they've got. You even know they aren't limited to being loser who sits at home all day and gets high because you've seen them be successful for 10 full years. But at some point they became a total loser. You still care about that kid. You still invite them for Christmas and Thanksgiving and listen to their stupid stories, but it pains you because you know how much potential they have.
I love the Simpsons. I actually only watch it sporadically nowadays because I don't like most (all?) of the new stuff. They have some funny moments too. But for the most part it is pretty bad television.
The biggest reason I've made a point of watching the newest season is this thread. Lots of people said the show has rebounded in recent years. I strongly disagree.
