How new is new? I think we consider season 23 new? Not sure though. I'd say I laugh the odd time, most of the time though it's either groans or shrugs. I felt Futurama kept pretty fresh right up to the end, but the Simpsons has been going too long; so long now in fact that they're even parodying their own jokes and episodes. I definitely get the impression of a horse struggling up a hill trying to pull a load that has become way too heavy for it, or that it has become too old to haul.
