true

they just did it all and cants seem to find any new id... oh and the jokes are getting very basic..

Meh - new writers.

Groening wanted to stop making them YEARS ago, but Fox wouldn't let him - it was their Cash Cow. they said that if he quite working on them, they'd let somebody else step up and, fearing someone would take over and ruin his brainchild, Groening decided to... ruin it himself!
They've just run out of good ideas... it'll go off the air someday - don't worry about that.

havent really seen the most recent 5 or so seasons, but I think seasons 1-3 suck arse, too much focus on the VERY unfunny Bart

They lost the magic. The characters are no longer what they were before, as Piazza stated, and I see the same jokes used multiple times in new episodes. Taken from other new episodes or old episodes. Homer as the technology show dog on screen, funny? Yes. Homer as the "Dancin'Homer" mascot, funny? Yes. Homer as poochie the dog, funny? Sometimes. Homer inside a panda suit, funny (oh the male panda raped him, how DID they come up with that)? No. Homer inside a metal robot, funny(He gets injured a lot. Been there, seen that many many times)? No. Homer as that superhero with pie on his face, funny(The real homer is stupid, but not this stupid)? No.

Combined with the fact that Homer has a completely different, unfunny, and un-homer like personality, the re-use of the same "Homer is X person" gag (and Homer getting badly beaten) get's old.

when was that?
i only realized he helped with the simpsons like a month ago, i was watching one of the dvds i have and in the intro credits i thought i saw his name so i rewinded it, and surely enough
conan obrien

and yeah, seasons 1-4 DVDs rock

Now don't get me wrong, I like really stupid humor. I mean some of my favorite movies include A Night at the Roxbury and Almost Heroes, and one of my favorite TV programs is Late Night With Conan O'brien(probably the stupidest humor around--cactus chef who plays We Didn't Start The Fire on a flute = hilarity). Family Guy is good. Their humor was meant to be more straightforward from the beginning. While I don't really like them myself I still respect the idea of South Park and Beavis & Butthead. I respect all of these shows, because they are supposed to be stupid and pull it off well to some degree. Fa

The Simpsons wasn't meant to be, though. The characters were based on a foundation that was smarter and that you could identify with more often.

He was a writer on the simpsons from 1991-1993 after he left SNL and before he got his talkshow...I know he wrote the episode "Marge vs The Monorail" and he produced and co-produced several episodes.

But all good things come to an end, or all good things focus on money.
