I got news for ya - Conan ain't comin' back.

Well... not Conan, of course. I meant everyone else.

I mean... the new writers just want to see how many pointless pop culture refferences they can shove into each episode, or how many situations they can shove the now ultrastupid Homer into!

Conan is my god.

To be fair, the season(s?) that Al Jean is executive-producing the show HAVE been getting better, even if ever-so slightly. The situations and plots aren't so outlandish, and we've been laughing at the same thing and gags for years now-if they kept going into new directions, fans'll complain, if they keep the same, fans'll complain. I think even if the newer seasons suck, they're still trying.

That said, anyone notice onetime 'sucky' eppys in say, season eight or nine once considered out-of-this-world are now classics compared to the newest seasons?

They are on strike only because they want more money, and they deserve it. Stars on the other fox shows get like $1 million an ep, so they deserve it. It's not going to get cancelled, they will pay them more.
