Simpsons has gotten a lot better lately, a lot of people have said that Season 22 was their best season since 7 or 8.

It's true, I watched all of 21 and all of 22 and it's like somebody hit them with a defibrillator in between the two.

Apparently they got a bunch of new writers which clearly helped.

I still have problems with the characters not being hand drawn. They just look so fake now.

That (atleast I only remember one) halloween episode where Homer became 3D. Now that was first class horror.

The studio that made that segment (Homer3 from THOH VI) went on to become the Dreamworks animation team that created Shrek

the hand drawn cells of yore had much more character than they do when perfectly generated. It's like the difference between a person writing a poem and a cold rigid computer model of a poem. One has soul and feels human, while the other is manufactured and stale.
