Is it my imagination?

Is it my imagination, or does this season really really really suck? I thought there were a couple really great episodes last year (The Trilogy of Error, HOMr, and the one with the bagage handler's strike), but this season is just crap.

I think a perfect example of this was in last week's episode, when, at the bowling ally, they had a video game called "Nuke Canada", to me this is the kind of unfunny joke that I would expect from South Park. The Simpsons is supposed to be more subversive (and therefore funny), maybe if they talked about how Canada sucked and then showed how they're exactly the same (or better somehow), it would have actually been humerous.

They need to fire the new idiot writers over thre.

It's your imagination. :)

The "Nuke Canada" game has been appearing in the background of some shots in the arcade for years now. Also, I think that a little side joke like that is just supposed to be a kind of knock at the extremely violent and idiotically premised video games that are out now. Why is that any worse than a game called "Disembolwer IV : The Slashening"? That was the name of a game that appeared back in Season 6.

I completely agree. Little Faith and Burns in Love were so mediocre. Some funny parts, and some terrible ones. Stick to the subtle humor (satire, in-jokes, etc.). Blunt comedy (Southpark) and drumroll jokes (Leno) are not right for the Simpsons!
