Caught up on about the last 4 or 5 episodes of the simpsons this season, and you know what? they were really god damn funny!! I mean I am right there with everyone else. the simpsons have slowly been heading downhill for years now.. but last season was probably the first season where there were more than a couple of good episodes. Now this season, I would say I geuninely enjoyed more episodes than not. Especially the last few with the Catholic church, the rapture, the singing competition.. really funny stuff.

anyway, just wondering if anyone else enjoyed this last season of the simpsons as much as I did.. if you would have asked me a year or two ago, I would have told you the prospect of them going to 16 or 17 seasons was pretty scary, but at this point, I say bring on season 17 as long as they keep on the same writers!!

It was a marked improvement above some of the previous seasons. It still wasn't of the caliber of the 'old classic' Simpson's seasons - but it hasn't been the normal crap as well. I won't go out of my way to watch it, but when I do it doesn't make me want to change the channel.

well, I will say A Star Is Torn is probably my most favorite Lisa episode, understanding that I hate virtually every Lisa episode ever.

"Left Below" was genuinely funny, even if it did recycle some plot devices of earlier seasons.

I hope not. I've given up on watching new Simpsons episodes...if they start becoming good again I'll miss them!

Homer's job at the "Sprawl-Mart" coming to the logical conclusion -

Spoiler

him stealing a stack of plasma TVs with a forklift through the front door

- made me laugh at the show harder than I had for a while.

The other strong episode was the prescription drug smuggling - mainly for the Canadian jokes and that exchange between Apu and Flanders.
