I finely got a Simpsons box set

[Boingonut]

I have been resisting this forever but since I have not seen a really good Simpsons episode for a year (ever since I moved to the L.A. area it seems) I need my fix so I got season 5. Fox 11 seems to only re-run episodes no older then 2001 on weekdays. I did not mind at first since the show was not THAT bad in 01 02 and eveen some in 03 but none of these episodes have the repeat watchablity the "classic" mid- 90's Simpson's episodes had. Once I noticed I had seen episodes from 2001 and up era more then once I was turning off the Simpsons, something unthinkable just a year ago. I have been wondering what the heck the people in charge of Fox have been thinking re-runing these weak episodes over and over. I have decided that either the suits really are dumb or that they want to push these box sets so they have quit showing classic Simpson episodes, well the latter worked if that was they're plan and like a good little consumer I bought one and will most likely buy the rest.

The 04 and 05 seasons have just been horible and in 05 I stoped watching new episodes, something I never thought I would do. But all good things come to an end and instead of going out on top with dignity like Seinfeld it looks like Simpsons is going to get milked until it runs dry with everyone. Bad writing, stupid plots and everything seeming to be about Lisa (my least favorite character) these days has doomed the show. I hope they get back on track but it seems doughtful.
