FOX's Animated Premieres: YAY or NAY?

First off, I'm not the biggest fan of either Futurama or King of the Hill. But was it me or where last night's episodes some of the funniest work I've ever seen on them?

Especially love the line Bobby said about Mr. Strickland getting under more balls than a midget hooker. That line knocked my father off the couch!

As for The Simpsons, well the first half was funny as hell. Then in the latter season's time honored tradition went to hell in a handbasket fast.

Your thoughts...

I've liked KotH since it started and I think it just keeps getting better. Bobby cracks me up for some reason. They've really got that Texas drawl down pat. Simply put, The Simpsons has denegrated to Guest Star Theater. I remember when it was The Simpsons, not guest starring so-and-so. I mean Homer has been with how many bands now? Areosmith, Kid Rock, U2, Smashing Pumpkins, The Who, Spinal Tap, the list is endless.

"They've really got that Texas drawl down pat."
Texas is big. That particular accent is localized. Mostly in Garland & east Texas.

I ain't converted for I still find the show very one note and not very funny most of the time.

But Bender is a cool character...

the simpsons are the best television show ever. period. and its still amazing. read a ny times article yesterday that argued that not only can the simpsons be considered "art," it should be considered "high art."

Meaning, that no other show has embraced our culture and commented on it as prolificly and brilliantly as the simpsons.

plus homer's funny as hell. i love futurama, but the simpsons makes me laugh more and harder. bottom line.

It was one of the worst simpsons episodes i've ever seen. If they continue at this level, take it off the air and save some face.
