    It's like great musicians/writers/filmmakers/football managers who have have an incredible run and reach a peak they're never able to match again. The output in those years was so good that the work will live on forever.

    There's no need for it to still be going, and it certainly doesn't detract from those early series. But it is quite painful when I occassionally watch a more recent episode and it feels like you're watching a fifth rate tribute act performing outside a Gregg's.

    Good analogy. The Simpsons is just like Wenger.

    Looooool.




    Although, actually, that analogy does kinda stand up. The Simpsons was groundbreaking and innovative. You can't keep on being innovative - once you've done something new and other people have copied you it stops being new. And also the early Simpsons writing team was dripping with talent. The new lot simply aren't as good. I haven't watched it for years but it remains one of the best and most important TV shows of the 20th century.

    Wish they'd hurry up and release this, it's been ready for weeks.
