• The Simpsons. Let it die, Fox/Disney.
  • Futurama. The Fox seasons is it’s golden age. Now the show is sci-fi South Park. They have a show set in the future, but the writers make episodes based on the present.
  • The Walking Dead. TWD dyed in season 2. They made 13 episodes out of 6 issues of the comic. It was poorly written, characters act like idiots, and the twist in Episode 7. You can see it coming from a mile away.

    Why do you care that things you don’t like are running? It’s not for you if you don’t like it. let other people enjoy their things

    Don’t yuck someone’s yum.

    I think better question would be what shows do you want to see created?

    That’s what it’s always been since day 1.

    God, I am so sick of this shitty kind of negativity. If you don’t like a show, you don’t have to wait for it to get cancelled to decide to stop watching it. Just don’t watch it. Other people watch it, so let them have it.

    The Simpsons. The current episodes are honestly a bigger fall from the quality of the show 10 years ago than the Simpsons 10 years ago was from it’s golden era. It’s been on eh for most of it’s existence but Plusaversary is when it died if you ask me. That short is borderline symbolism for why Simpsons sucks now.

    South Park. I don’t watch the show anymore because it violates one of my non-negotiable values, but I also don’t subscribe to the “SOUTH PARK RUINED THE WORLD” mindset that much of media criticism circles does (largely because I think South Park was a symptom if anything, and also a lot of those articles describe bad South Park clones better than South Park) and I’m not above admitting media I disagree with is well-made (but still, South Park is transphobic and generally promotes a Libertarian [as in US Libertarian Party] mindset.) But before I stopped watching…it started to feel like the creators understood their show through what media (media that was positive about the show) built it up to be rather than what it was. Pretty much every episode became politics (when their pop culture criticism was often funnier honestly) and it started to feel like the characters were just pawns for political issues instead of real characters. It’s like they stopped writing an animated sitcom and started writing an edgier version of standup, and stopped being funny in the process. I think Stick of Truth was probably the last glimpse of what South Park was.
