The Simpsons = Epic Fail

There was a time when I was young. When I used to look forward to the Simpsons. It seemed fresh and funny and sometimes clever. So it was with some anticipation that I sat down to watch the latest episode on HULU. (If you haven't tried www.hulu.com please do you will not regret it.) But the glories of Hulu aside and believe me I shall write about it one day. The latest episode of the Simpsons was really a pointless rip off of the classic Peter Jackson film "Heavenly Creatures" . This film was made in 1994 and is really an amazing film. There was nothing amazing or groundbreaking about this Simpsons episode in fact it failed utterly as both a homage and as a comedic episode. At what point did it seem like a good idea to rip off a film that was 15 years old and was loosely based on a tragic true story. Since when does this become fodder for comedy? It really seems to me that the Simpsons has jumped the shark and is now following the spiral toward the crap heap. I am just waiting for them to adopt a new cute kid. As it is Simpsons I bid you good day sir!!
