Max power

I bought the simspons season 4 dvd. A lot of hardcore fans will tell you that this is either the best season of the show or it is right up there with the best. I know every episode, yet it still seems fresh and cutting edge. At this time in the show, everyone involved was peaking, from writers to actors, and it shows in the quality of the episodes. The simspons to me will always be remembered as “light in the dark”. Every bad day at my second school, was followed by the relief of the simpsons provided at 6:00 every night.
I caught an episode of a new season, it wasn’t the same show. Moments still existed, but it just doesn’t have the same feel anymore.
Its weird watching something you loved so strong become stale. Unfortunately it happens all the time. Maybe the only way to avoid it is to finish after 12 episodes like the office or falty towers. 12 episodes of the simpsons would not be enough though .
It’s not just the simspons that has gone downhill, other things have gone too. I don’t know if I’ll ever feel the buzz of buying a new Michael Jackson album. No more devastating Mike Tyson fights.
I’m like those old football pundits that wanted Gazza in the England team, just one more chance to prove they have got what it takes. Who can blame them though? People with special talent in entertainment are become fewer and fewer. Instead we are left with endless boy bands and the sight of Beckham posing for another advert.
What worries me about music is that, will a time come when everything has been done? And there is nothing left to unearth. Quite simply, we need a genius, or at least a spectacle. We need a new Michael Jackson, I’m not talking about Justin Timberlake. We need something inspiring, something that when you watch, you can’t believe how good it is.
Hopefully something will come along.
