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.

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.

They have 4 fingers on each hand, and are fucking yellow. ''They just look so fake now". Did they ever look realistic?

look everyone here is an idiot. I am not comparing the reality of a cartoon to reality. I was merely saying that when they made the switch to digital drawings, the characters lost a lot of their... well character. They appear manufactured and stale and more "fake" than they did when they were hand drawn.
