Since when did The Simpsons turn into a soap opera?
After years of watching one of my favourite animated series, I watched this 2002 episode recently and came to the conclusion that the show itself should have ended in the same year.
The plot for this episode centres around The Simpson family trying to help Apu & his wife get back together after they have separated.
The fact that there isn't one gag in the whole episode really shows that most of the original writers had moved on by time this episode was written, I mean Apu being served with divorce papers by his wife, where's the comedic value in that!?
As mentioned this episode was made in 2002 & I've rarely seen an episode made after this that even remotely resembles episodes of The Simpsons of old, I therefore have been resided to the fact that the show is a shadow of its former self & if I want to watch an episode to make me laugh, I'll just reminisce and watch the original episodes that actually did.
