I think Futurama is the vastly superior relative of The Simpsons (hasn't been funny in at least 20 years)... My current favorite (non-anime) animated series is Bob's Burgers. Great writing and the combination of H Jon Benjamin's and Kristen Schall's vocal talents cannot be beat.

And yes, really enjoyed King of the Hill in its early years.

I've only watched Bob's Burgers a few times because here in the UK I can't find it on the schedule, It has moved channels at least once I think, but I have watched it, found it very funny in parts.

I might record it and watch a few back to back.

I think, personally, The Simpsons team got complacent. They were/are guaranteed re-commissions, so why be bold. Don't rock the boat. Just deliver the right number of episodes at the right time.

Aside from Apu, who I always found offensive, the early stuff was fantastic.

The irony of course is, as time went on the quality of animation got better but the quality of writing went down. 

Apologies, Gold, if this ever expanding comments section is now jarring.

No worries!  I love this shit!!
