Yes, I do believe that you are correct.

With exception, I hate family guy and the current Simpsons. As far as psychological analysis of people not having the germane intelligence or attention span to watch the current seasons of the Simpsons, I retort that if something is genuinely good it should naturally keep one's attention. The Simpsons have once had this quality, and seasons three through eight, nine and even ten are some of the finest works among cartoon history (Debatably including: Bugs Bunny, Ren and Stimpy, Southpark,The Animated Series of Batman, Droopy….The Simpons is in there too but only a portion of the seasons, which is also a case of a few that I mentioned too). What they are doing now is like what they did with stuff like Terminator 3 (which wasn't even a pimple on Terminater 2's ass) and the echelon of laughable horror remakes they have been making where people have the priority of money above the quality of the work using the acclaimed popularity of an image that has been successful to get the money but never fully doing justice to the successors' art. Even further, what they've done with the Simpsons movie and the new seasons leaves a stain in my mind whenever people bring the Simpsons up to me, and when people say I like the Simpsons," I say, "I do to, but not anymore." I wish they could have left the brilliance be. There will always be that divide of what the Simpons were and what they aren't now.
