This week, on Sunday past the FOX network aired the Season Finale of the animated "The Simpsons" at 7pm. On Wednesday night at 8 in the PM, the FOX network aired an ALL NEW episode of "The Simpsons". Poor FOX.
There was one overwhelming truth about both episodes of "The Simpson"; they stank.
Amazing, every time I've ever made a post concerning "The Simpson's" dearth of quality there's alway someone to chime in that this week's show was among the season's best. How can every episode be among the season's best?

When comparing a large amount of things and calling them ALL among the best, then the laws of averages take effect and thusly define every single episode of The Simpsons as being "among the average" show in the season.
It doesn't mean the show was phenominal, nor does it define it as horrid. Of course, being among the ones making up 'average', statistically it COULD BE one of the best. Or one of the worst.
It's all up to the mathemeticians to decide if this week's Simpsons episode was THE best or THE worst. We can't do it. In fact, if we even view OR listen to just a small portion of this episode, we will be biased in favour for or against that particular episode and can not be held responsible for the record keeping involved in defining that particular episode's rank amongst those which make up the 'average'.
We all need unbiased opinions in order to make a true judgment based upon the criteria set forth in the governing documentation which define the qualities required in order to rank a particular episode amongst its peer shows.
I hope I made that clear. If not, please let me know through one of my associates. I merely lurk at times.
While "The Simpsons" has kept up a certain amount of quality, I still prefer the earlier episodes. Any show will run out of ideas sooner or later, so this is not really a dig at the show. How much longer can they go on?

They still manage to hit some high notes, just not as frequently or consistently as they used to...

They've lasted a lot longer (and better) than most shows...

Scally: Dear Mr. Hole. Hi, if you will help me in my conquest to get Gail Berman fired, we can put a stop to these season-finale lies. Also, we can get "The Simpsons" off the air once and for all, and perhaps get Shamu off TV entirely.
What do you think? I like our odds even if Lalalalandive (a.k.a. Tinky Winky) does not.
P.S. "24" is overrated.
P.P.S. I agree with him, though, that it was time for "Dark Angel" to go.
P.P.P.S. Also, I probably agree with him too that KalElFan is a troll who never stops typing.
Tune into tomorrow's column, presented to you in a coherent manner.
WATCH WITH SCALLY Remember, kids, only you can prevent Gail "Coherent" Berman from stinking FOX up next year too.
But Watch with Scally, I feel so powerless against her, and all the other network presidents. I hear they're actually all Masons, or Skulls; and that's the reason they keep giving all these boobs the head honcho position.
Well, if you're with me then I guess I'll give it a shot.
If you watch every episode from 14 on as comedies they work very well.
