Yes, The Simpsons is sh*t now but people have started overrating 90s Simpsons.
Stop being silly. |

Simpsons is Disney compared to Family guy etc . If it's true that it was just the PC gone mad brigade lying and making a fuss over nothing , then i'm happy Apu ISN'T being axed! , but it sounds like they're still undecided , i hope they keep him! . I kept thinking why would the writers & producers of Simpsons cave in to such a ridiculous uproar when the show has been on air for 30 years ! . And all the characters in The simpsons are well loved by fans . Every character in the show is a stereotype or a caricature that's the comedy . They pick on the indian guy, but what about the angry scots man grounds keeper willie?? . Or messy Krusty the jewish clown? , or the accident prone mexican bubble bee man ??

Triumph of the Weird

Family guy took off around the time the Simpsons were introducing more radical/parodistic changes to the model. So it never took itself seriously at all. The same can be said about South Park. Though South Park was in that "cool" medium-rare zone of US cartoons that was on the fringes at the time. Where it wasn't quite vulgar enough that it was Beavis&Butthead-y (which was cancelled at the time), but still vulgar enough to appeal to the older Millenials. US shows are becoming less censorship-heavy, so there's not really a niche for vulgar/outrageous anymore. It used to be if a show was not "family-friendly" enough, it was petitioned until it was pulled off the air in the States. Now that pull is in the other direction... how dare it not break norms, etc...
