The greatest show of all time.... but the vast majority of episodes have been poor since ~2003, with a decline earlier than that.

I hope it's not cancelled because I still feel it can return to past glory.... but maybe it has to pull a Futurama.

I honestly couldn't stand a Sunday night line up dominated by only Seth MacFarlane cartoons, all of which are far worse than even the poor Simpsons episodes now.

They changed a lot of things over the last 10 years which made the series great in the first place. They've completely changed each character. Homer from a lovable fool to an unlikable idiot, Marge from a vicarious mother to a nagging killjoy, Bart from calm and cool to a 10 year old crybaby, Lisa from witty, nagging but fun to simply lugubrious.... and the delivery of the jokes, the secret to the series.... gone.
