i stopped watching ‘the simpsons’ regularly about 2005, but i have seen the past couple of series and it wasn’t too bad. i think the episodes guest starring 50 cent and ricky gervais killed it for me personally. i hope this paunch luck isn’t transferred by osmosis to your faithful fans? and i want one of those gigantic wooden console TVs.
