It was based on a ridiculous premise — Dan was a newspaper advice columnist, yeah, like THOSE exist anymore, hey, why not make it about a cobbler?

The world sees sense. Now, we're just waiting for people on the show to do the same. Need I say, I fully agree with the article (though I would likely have used harsher words).
(Also, the picture featuring Homer and Death is wonderful.)

I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree.
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see, the voices that control me
From inside my head say I shouldn't kill you yet.
- Jonathan Coulton, "Skullcrusher Mountain"

Wow, that reflects my feelings perfectly.
And I have also long held that no one person/thing is responsible for the show's stumble. But like the article, I'm optimistic about the future. I think that they've really turned a corner after Season 11 and 12, that while the past two seasons have been bland at times, and even bad at times, it's a commendable transition.

Yeah, it is a good article. It's nice to see that it's not just us that's worried about the direction of the show.

A very interesting article. Maybe some of the writers and producers should read this...
