The few times I tuned in since then it seemed that the "funniness" had been cut by 75% and the "crassness" had been boosted by 250%.
Too bad, seasons 2 through 8 were some of the funniest TV of all time.
My personal favorite was season 7......sooooooo many great episodes, including part 2 of who shot Mr. Burns and the classic where Selma marries Troy McClure, which brought us "Planet of the Apes - the Musical".
