That was such a good show 10 years ago.

Nooooo. It was such a good show 20 years ago. After about the 5 season it began to feel old. Now watching it makes me feel old. Wish Fox would finally cancel it.

I liked it, it's overly long (they will probably cut it) but I enjoyed how they put all the characters fro the past 19-20 seasons into the intro.

The show debuted in '89...

Season 5 was 15 years ago, not 20.

And guys, even though the recent episodes aren't as great as they once were, they still remain a higher quality than plenty other television on these days. If you don't feel like watching it, fine, but don't act like it's utter trite that deserves to be canceled.

No, they're just airing the movies cut up into episodes. No new episodes there, just the same movies they're putting out on DVD/BD, aired in a cut-up format.

I think the folks behind American Dad and Family Guy are refusing to do HD because they don't want to touch 16:9. I wish they'd just do HD in 4:3 if that's their only gripe. Pretty stupid, especially if they're animating digitally at a natively low resolution.

Wonder just how much of that will be cut for the usual runs. Absolutely loved seeing Grandpa in the car though. Such a clever use of the wider screen

I agree. HD 4:3 is still better than SD 4:3.

When you're used to 4x3 in animation it's easy to recycle most background and cut the cost of production. If you change to 16x9 you have to redesing everthing so some budget (for the shows) won't allow that right now..

Needs less Simpsons and more Futurama. **** you Fox, give me some Futurama!

I bought all of the damn DVD specials (well apart from the last one, but I'll get that as well!), and the boxsets, but no bloody announcement about the future of the show!

xtop · 02-14-2009, 11:24 PM

Looks good, but even the transition to HD would not make me want to watch this ailing show now!

Matt, I beg of you, put it down soon! The glory days were over years ago!
