Even South Park is so different than what the show was originally. I think South Park is still good, but I far prefer seasons 3 to like 8, rather than the pure pop culture mash-up it is now.
I think the Krusty episode of the Simpsons showed a lot of what was wrong with the series right now. In it's prime the Simpsons could make you cry as easily as it could make you laugh. No other show in history could do it like the Simpsons.
But it's all become so lazy. Instead of developing the plot, it's shoved in your face. Like when Krusty took up philanthropy in the episode, and then for some reason it doesn't bring him any satisfaction. We are literally told by a news reporter that this was the case, breaking down the third wall. Ha. Good one, Simpsons. Telling me what to feel instead of setting the stage and building the plot to let me decide on my own.
It's honestly like like some taxidermist stuffed my favorite pet as a kid and is displaying it in the middle of my living room.
