[@kisbie]

@@the_bottomfragger Matt Groening once said he believes Bart will end up like Homer, but I disagree.

[@thundercat2000ca]

Not really. Hardly any of the old writers are still on staff and any show that's gone on as long as the Simpsons(outside of a soup opera) is going to run dry at some point.... only in this case they still keep getting renewed.

[@MessierEighty8]

The difference you're seeing is that old Simpsons was delivered more like a sketch show; the scenes were rapid, witty, short, and that allowed the jokes to keep coming. The new Simpsons' jokes are long and drawn out, and rely too much on throwing in in-your-face-obvious visual gags to compensate or distract from the long dialogue, which takes forever to get to the punchline.
