As promising as the season premiere looked for The Simpson's, I couldn't help but grow disappointed halfway through the show. Comic Book Guy and all the comic book references were the highlights of the show (they even nailed "Every-Man's" Iron Man pose). But beyond that, there was very little to even smile about.
To shed a some light on the episode, Every-Man, the brainchild character of Comic Book Guy, had the power to absorb powers by simply touching any comic book. Being convinced to self publish his comic, Every-Man grew popular enough to reach movie studio executives, to be turned into a major motion picture. Homer was chosen to play the lead role.
The moment Homer began taking charge of the episode, I quickly feel out of interest. I'm saddened by this, simply because The Simpson's hold a special place in my heart, being a fan of the show since grade school. It seems "Family Guy" and "South Park" have out done The Simpson's when it comes to raunchy tasteless jokes, which seems to make The Simpson's tame in humor by comparison. I'll still continue to watch the season, but won't be surprised when people aren't talking about it in the office the following day.
