Not suprising really. It just goes to show how bad tv has gotten; that even though Simpsons has become a little tired and lackluster the past few seasons, it still draws good ratings after all these years.

If they can keep the quality at the same level as last Sunday's episode, I say go for it!
Gald to see they're getting a pay raise too. It would really suck if the writing got better again only to have the regular cast members start walking away.
