Listening to the commentary tracks on the Second Season of everyone's favorite yellow family (The tracks, that appear on every single episode, are fantastic: Informative and funny.) and the realization came over me the way it has thousands of times over the years: The Simpsons haven't been funny for a LONG time.
I believe I wrote about this a million years ago on my previous site (filmjunk.blogspot.com) so I'll refrain from getting back into ranting mode, but check out this well writte n article over at FADE RESISTANT
One of the smartest and most interesting participatns in the commentary tracks is Al Jean. For someone that's so aware of the very minor faults in the early seasons, it's weird to note that h'es to blame for the last eight years of the series. He's been the show runner since 2001.
