But South Park is in it's prime now. The current episodes are much better than the earlier ones.JackBauer said:I say 10 years AT LEAST. they should've taken a cue from South Park and made it when it was in its prime.

Mr. Credible said:here are some "spoilers" for the movie (although i'd take with a tablespoon of salt given the source)
In the movie Homer causes an accident at the nuclear power plant - which causes the towns drinking water to be spoilt. Therefore, Erin Brockovich is guest starring - playing herself. After the incident, Homer gets fired from the plant, and majority of Springfield's citizens move away.
There is not going to be a dome built over the town.
But, in one scene, when people are trying to figure out what to do at the city hall meeting - Professor Frink suggests a giant dome should be built around the town. The dome rumors could've started from that.
There will also be cameos by Albert Brooks' previous characters, but I don't know who they are, and I don't know whether he's going to play any bigger part.

sounds like a mediocre episode at best, let alone movie plot. i think they ought to bring back Hank Scorpio for the movie.

The Simpsons ran out of steam years ago.
Yeah, the show really isn't about the story lines. Granted there have been some good ones, but the show is really about the characters and their interactions and jokes. When your show has had about a thousand different characters, it tends to be a more character driven show.D'Artagnan said:Let's face it, the storylien is not important. All the storyline needed is a catalyst for a lot of good jokes. Bart winning an elephant, Homer being attractive to a female co-worker, Apu being fired and Homer helping him get his job back, and so on.

No, the reasons the episodes aren't good any more is because they've used just about every idea, and the writers they have now aren't good.Ultimate Movie-Man said:A lot of you are bashing the movie.
WTF.
They've been working on the movie for years, wiritng the script, re-writing the script, that's why the episodes arent as good anymore: because theyve been working on the movie as well, trying to make it awesome. And it will be trust me.
