It was on Ch. 10 at 7:30pm.

It sort of looked like 'The Simpsons', except it was devoid of laughs, wit, satire and intelligence, and just had a bunch of pointless stuff occurring.

I'm guessing the guy who created 'Quads' has done a lame rip-off - 'The Simpsons' could not have sunk to such a level.

Surely.

The first episode being the one where Sideshow Bob gets Bart to blow up Krusty and the second being the one with the Police Cops show with the dumb Homer Simpson character?

I though both were reasonable episodes.

Talking about the first ep, couldn't be bothered watching the second one after that.

Every major element of that show had been done before and nothing new was added to it. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was funny but none if it was.

It's actually fallen in the trap that 'Seinfeld' did in its final couple of seasons - its made the episodes at a faster pace to cover up the major weaknesses of the show. It doesn't work.

Maybe that was because they are repeats? ;)

The Simpsons is like Mick Martin, so far over the hill they could no longer distinguish it from the horizon.
