This next commentary is coming from a life Long Simpsons fan, even since the short rubbery animated 1980's Tracy Ulman shorts....

Make ONE more theatrical movie... and have it serve as the series finalie. We do NOT need 4 more years of bland writing, redone plots, smarmy guest stars that only the Harvard educated writers give a crap about, and over used jokes about how funny people's accents are or mock apple pie.

If we are headed for 4 more years of the Simpsons, here's what I'd like to see:

Homer as smart as he USED to be. And working EXCLUSIVELY at the power plant.

Lisa's ultra lefty buddhist veganism as the butt of jokes, not the source of some whiney agenda based preachiness.

Marge NOT being a joke about beeing a housewife (thankfully, they seem to have moved away from that).

No more episodes that look like they could be Saturday morning cartoons... basically no more pandering to the youngest audiences.

Three cartoons in a half hour should be EXCLUSIVELY for the Halloween special.

And lastly.... Kill off Cletus, or have him leave the show perminantly. he hasn't been funny since the Clinton adminsitration. he's a hillbilly. We get it. And while you're at it, treat characters like Sideshow Mel and Ralph Wiggum as characters. You'll get a richer experiance if they just don't say, "look! I'm saying something funny."

Also... put Spiderpig in the show, for crying out loud. You made a big fuss over him in the film, but other than the cover of a comic book and a couple little 3 second cameos, he's been completely absent.
