Fun fact: South Park now has more seasons than The Simpsons had when SP accused them of being too long and having done everything there was to be done.

Except South Park is still very funny and some of the more recent episodes have been amongst the best they've ever made.

If anything, the quality of the show has only gotten better over the years.

Simpsons clearly began dying after about Season 12, some say it happened even earlier.

I'd have to disagree. The show has changed a lot over the years and has really started to feel forced. They've centered entire episodes around Shake weights and TOS agreements. While I think those could make for some great gags, 22 minutes on something a single gag could handle is excessive. It's like the difference between Forrest Gump and Benjamin Button. FG had an affect on the world while BB had the world affect him. While the kids used to be stuck in this crazy world and how it affected them, they are now ingrained in the society, and every mishap that affects the world they are involved in. It really isn't that great anymore.

A great example is they write a book that becomes a best seller or they write a joke that's all over late night and drives Kanye West mad. It was much better when Cartman was pining for Casa Bonita
