The Simpsons is as creatively vibrant as ever

So, I have to admit I haven't watched a new Simpsons episode in I don't know how long -- I remember thinking the show sucked 10, 12 years ago -- but this news really doesn't disturb me at all.

Am I missing out on something? Is The Simpsons miraculously good again?

I'll probably catch the Treehouse of Horror episode this year as I try to watch those at least.

Agreed.  After 2 or 3 seasons in a row where I would only laugh out loud maybe once every other episode, I gave up on The Simpsons.  Writers change, though.  I suppose it could have become funny again, but I have my doubts.

I did, however, enjoy the Simpsons movie. It had a few lousy jokes that would have been right at home in an episode from the past several years, but also plenty of genuine Simpsons-worthy humor. All the heavy hitters from the series' past worked on the script. I'd be happier if they'd cancel the series and just release a new movie every few years that they actually took the time to work hard on.

It's definitely not even close to being as funny as it once was. Seasons 4 and 5 were the funniest imo.

But I still love the show. I do still get a few laughs out of the new episodes, and I would never want the show to end.

Pretty good article on Deadspin looking back at "Homer at the Bat," on the episode's 20th (!) anniversary:

Has anyone else played The Simpsons Tapped Out for iOS devices yet? It had some server issues upon start up and got temporarily pulled from the app store, but if you downloaded it before it got pulled you are still able to play it. I grabbed it and it's a pretty fun little game to flip on once or twice a day for a few minutes to grow your Springfield.

And here's the opening video to the game.

After that you rebuild Springfield from scratch.
