I agree, I think it's just that they run out of possibilities or new ideas ? It's always about 2-3 seasons before they get lame.

I actually think Simpsons made decent episodes for many years. Perhaps until season 17-18? These two latest years has totally crashed though. They seem to be shipwrecked in somewhere where there is no happiness.

I think it's better to make a "good" list, because there are many more bad ones than those.

I take it you've never had existential angst?

See, it's not that I'm "worried about everything", it's that I'm worried that my sense of being and self and my notion of free will are nothing more than a convenient illusion that we're all *supposed* to have. That's slowly getting better, though.

In any case, I would appreciate it if you could stop the jabbing...

My advice to younger generations: Quit thinking you are better than all the other generations. You will be old some day, and the new generations will be saying the same thing to you that you are now saying to them: "You caused all the world's problems, you suck, and we're going to fix it all, which makes us great". You do not have a god given right to food, to a house, or to life. This was all fought for. You have done nothing to earn any of this. You are NOT better than everyone else. Remember these words.

EDIT: And I almost forgot. Never hide yourself from the truth because it's hard to face. False hope is just that. False. Remember to look at yourself now and then, and see who you really are. Don't ignore it when someone calls you a name. See if it's true. Blind animals are much more likely to get eaten.

If you're fighting for it isn't that *earning* it?

YES! Just remember that we're all the same on the inside (even though we're all different on the outside), and don't let your ego get inflated.

They did not fight for it. Their predecessors did. So they did not earn it.

I definitely think their recent episode, You Have Zero Friends belies that statement. I found it brilliant, inventive, topical ... and plan laugh-out-loud hilarious

IMHO .. PSM

PS:
But yeah, I agree about "Family Guy" getting stale...

PPS:
I'd really like to see a cartoon about those Chainsaw Gerbils

To the young.

Think before you speak or act.

The old are cursed with regrets.

OK - good advice for anyone, of any age.

Boy, what a pile of crap
I'm not sure if you're saying that "young people can't have regrets", or that "old people must have regrets" - but both statements are equally absurd.

another one that helped me...,

I know the original in spanish, I'll try to translate:

"you might be no one for this world,
but,
you might be a whole world for someone"
