It Was The Best Of Times
It was the Blurst of times, 2!

True, gibbs, Behind the Laughter was a pretty good ep, but just keep in mind that you'll also be buying Bart to the Future, Alone Again Naturally Diddly, Take My Wife Sleaze, Barts Little Helper, by far the worst episodes ever; Saddlesore Galactica, Kill the Aligator and Run. And the most incomprehensable Christmas

I think Rabin has it on the nose, seasons 3-8 were the "Golden Years" of the show. But thats really generalizing things. If I had my way, I would begin with "Lisa's Substitute" in season 2, and end with Principle and the Pauper in season 9. Folks forget that season 9 had some hold-overs from season 8 Oakley/Weinstein

Irregardless, since the worlds going to end in on December 21, 2012 anyway. THATS HOW SMART I AM!

Really, the only thing from these two episodes which COULD kill the series would be an overdose of sexy/naked Leela and Amy. If the Simpsons has taught us anything, its that male nudity (especially fat and flabby male nudity) is funny, while female nudit is not. I know that the show has shown Leela and Amy in various

Grimes and Maude are all good contenders for where the Simpsons jumped the shark, one a little earlies and the other a little later, but both pretty close together. Personally, I prefer to split the difference and go the Skinner imposter episode. To me, that was the first time the show really showed such disregard for

When Futurama first premiered, and I was like 14 or 15, I blamed it for the decline of the Simpsons, thinking that Groening was distracted from making the Simpsons funny. Later, I realized how little Groening had to do with whether or not the Simpsons was funny, and I now wish he would have just ended the Simpson in

I personally dont have a problem if the show changes its "identity". Well, a little bit. If Futurama goes from being a show about Fry discovering the 22nd century to a show about his romance with a cycloptic mutant, a) I dont see that as being a BIG change, b) it feels like a natural progression, as opposed to a

@mad- I know how to make love!

Nobody insults the turtles!

I shove every penny up my ass. That milk money you gave your little girl in the morning, THOSE WERE MY ASS PENNIES!

I'm going to need the apartment tonight. Heres five bucks, go see a saucy puppet show.

Have to go with Carrell, Colbert, Wilmore, and Bee as funniest correspondent. I seem to remember Dave Attell being on their for awhile? Maybe during the Kilborn years?

@Dr. Manhattan- Of course, despite our mutual Leno hatred, I must point out that Conan also lived a pretty sedate and privileged upper class upbringing, which he has hilariously mocked in his cover of Elvis' version of 'Polk Salad Annie'. I really dont think that you need to undergo some serious truama to be a great

Has Anyone Else Noticed
That the Hypnotoad sounds almost exactly like a vuvuzela? THEY'RE TRYING TO HYPNOTIZE US TO WATCH SOCCER! DAMN YOU FOREIGNERS!

I'm just glad that my fat ugly mama isnt alive to see this.

Whos intimidating who now, big city?

The Fuck Is This REAL News Shit?
Whats going on with Aziz Ansari today?

My Solution
Cant we just have Nic Cage play everyone in the Marvel universe? That would be pure Hollywood gold
