Maybe 3 years ago or so? It's been going downhill for a while, with the occasional decent episode.

Probably around '95-'96.

I don't even bother watching the new episodes anymore. I watch The Jamie Kennedy Experiment instead, cuz odds are, I won't like the new Simpsons episode.

I still love the old episodes, though.

Interesting that you brought that up, I usually watch JKX during commercials and find it pretty damn funny. I'm sure it'll be canceled shortly but if it had a better time slot, it would do well. Normally those "hidden camera" shows are brutal but the jokes are so blatantly cruel on JKX that it's great. The spring break double date last night was killing me! Sincerely, Little Girl

I'd say the show never jumped the shark, but I think Homer's characterization did the deed back with Homer's Enemy. He's morphed into the biggest dumbass/jerkass on TV.

This season. I'd say they jumped the shark with the Simpsons episode where Homer and Ned's Vegas wives make an unwelcome (and pointless, IMHO) return. And for you diehards, give me a break! The Simpsons had 12 great years! SNL's been on for 27 years and their "great years" are countable on two hands.

The phrase "jump the shark" jumped the shark when they made it into a website

but what do we call the website when leap the donkey blanks the blank? lands the fish? comes out of the forest? buys the farm? buries the wienerschnitzel? and what happens when that 3rd generation site you-know-whats the you-know-what? and so on ad infinitum until you just wish flanders was dead.

That's ok, I bet half the people who use the phrase or visit that website don't really know how the phrase originated/what it references.

----- I do. It took some searching on the site, but the meaning is there.

9th Season, most definitely.

"All Singing, All Dancing," "Das Bus," "Last Temptation Of Krusty," and "Girly Edition" were especially weak eps as regards the writing. I shall always remember Season 9 as the first time I cringed watching the show.

ZedMar 16, 2002, 10:02 PM ET↩ Becks

I liked "Das Bus" and "Girly Edition" but especially "Das Bus".

Jason SaslowMar 17, 2002, 10:22 AM ET↩ Zed

Me too. I also really enjoyed The Last Temptation of Krust.

Let me see... the episode that sticks out most prominently in my mind that made me think, "Now, wait, this is all wrong" was the episode where Otto gets married. Not funny at all; not even one time.

I still remember the opening scene, where the bus comes around the corner... and it isn't even drawn the same as it had been in previous episodes. I knew that was a bad omen, and sure enough, it was indeed an odious example of the drop in quality that the show had/has experienced.

But, wait, which came first--Otto's marriage or Barney's sobriety?

When did simpsons jump the shark?
