I have a question for TV fans who read this blog: When did FOX's animated comedy "The Simpsons" jump the shark?
This isn't just a disinterested question. My wife and I don't get cable or satellite, and haven't received broadcast since 9-11, but there are a few shows we've discovered that we actually enjoy. "The Simpsons" is one of them, but since we're restricted by choice to watching shows as they become available on DVD, we're loathe to sink money into a show that has gone to seed and run past its glory days.
So far, we've bought the first seven seasons, and we've been warned that the show started to lose its relevance several years ago. I've also heard that Season Eight contains the first appearance of a Great Gazoo-like character, which Matt Groening supposedly had promised fans would be a sign that the show had run its course and they should stop watching.
What's the verdict? Do we stop at Season Seven, or are there still a few DVD sets left to go before calling it quits?
