I still like it.

Yeah, it's not a patch on the earlier series but I still find it fairly funny. Probably prefer it to Family Guy tbh.

It was great in the 90s cos it was fresher and the stories weren't so thin. Seasons 5-9 were the best but it just kind of went downhill after that. There came a time when I could only really enjoy the Halloween eps but now I can't even bare them either.
It's had its day

It began to borrow from the Family Guy idea of obvious pop culture references. Plus...I genuinely think it's exhausted. How many plot lines can you draw from a family?

They try too hard now, the 'jokes' aren't funny and natural like they used to be. I hate watching new episodes.

I still watch it, although I agree it isn't as good as it was.

I don't get why people say family guy is funnier, I watch it, but I don't really find it funny :/ the only time i properly laughed at it, was when stewie said "We're not sinking, we're crashiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing"

It's been on for over twenty years. Not only have they probably done every plot possible without ageing the characters, but the TV industry has changed over two decades so The Simpsons does with it.
Although I like the movie. It's better if you don't compare it with the original series, just take it as a one off movie.
