I disagree though. Apart from the fact that "Worse" is subjective, and it's only the constant circle-jerking of internet culture that has lead to the widespread belief that "Me and the people who agree with me online don't like this so that makes it objectively bad".

When I was a teen, I was one of those snotty fuckers who was "oh so mature" and as a result I did not indulge in such immature activities as watching cartoons (Yeah, don't look at me like that, we were all assholes in our teens) this lead me to never having climbed on the simpsons love train of the 90's. I did start watching them later however, and I generally find the newer episodes to be funnier and better written than the cornball 'modern family is dysfunctional but loving' style of episodes of the earlier series.

so yeah, when I compare my opinion to the opinions of almost everyone who watched the show from or near the start, I conclude that either I am objectively wrong, you are all objectively wrong, or it's a subjective difference based on our own experiences of the show.

Unlike the old man in his rocking chair complaining about how "In my day things were just better" I think it's just a case of people change, culture shifts and people can't deal with things they used to love not affecting them the same way.

I do think the simpsons and Mr P's works have underwent changes in style, but I certainly don't think either have "went down hill."
