Apparently you are the only one that thinks that. I haven't watched the Simpsons on tv in a long, long time, but I figure I probably would be liking the new episodes, since I stuck it out through their worst, and saw that they had started to improve. I think I stopped watching sometime around Ice Cream Truck Homer, but watched the one with Moe dating the little person episode on Hulu, and I rather liked that one.
Suppose I oughta catch up on this season then.
