I hate Lyndsay Naegle, IMO she stands for the decline in the shows quality. I hate how she's become such a big part of the show and how characters like Herman and Nelsons' Weasels are rarely seen other than being in crowd backgrounds. Like other people have said it depends on the guest star and how they're used, Ronaldo was in one episode and it nearly ruined the whole episode. But I love Phil Hartman and Kelsey Grammer as guest stars. I think if they get the celebrity to voice an actual character IE Sideshow Bob, Troy McClure. And then you get good one of celebrity voices like David Hyde Pierce, Wynona Ryder, Reece Witherspoon, Topher Grace etc. It's better than getting the celebrities to voice themselves, I used to like how The Simpsons had their own Celebrities like Krusty, Kent Brockman, Ranier Wolfcastle etc. But now they use real people, and a lot of them are really bad celebrities like Ricky Gervais and Katy Perry. That being said I loved the Bret Hart guest appearance  .

I can see why people hate her, but I really like her. (A few people on a board I was on says she often gets scapegoated, since she appeared when the Simpsons had begun its steady decline, rather then the golden years.) She's kind of a mix of Mrs Krabappel, Krusty and a bit of Lionel Hutz, but she rarely gets used properly (she really worked in Marge Vs Childless Couples and Teens and Gays, however).
Phil Hartman, I believe, was in a league of his own. He. Was. Just. That. Good. Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure are two of the best characters ever, and A Fish Called Selma is easily one of the best episodes ever.
(When I'm home alone I sing all the songs from Stop the Planet of the Apes.) Well at least Ricky Gervais was someone else, but I don't really think much of him, and I didn't really like his voice acting or his writing in that episode. Now if they had used someone funny, like Dylan Moran or Bill Baily... you are right, its much better when they have their own celebrities like Ranier Wolfcastle and Krusty and Kent Brockman, rather then "Oh look, it's whoever is on MTV this week!"

Chris Chan would make a great "celebrity" guest I think, but I don't think that manchild's arrogance/sense of entitlement needs to be fueled anymore.
You're a Chris Chan fan? Every post you've made over the last few days has pleased me to no end, but none like this. Remember when he thought he was going to be asked to appear on 'Family Guy' and he read out a list of demands such as how he should date Meg and Brian should hang out with Sonichu and Rosechu until they can find him a nice, canine girlfriend? It's not like 'The Simpsons' would be lowering the quality of their guest-stars by having him on and if raising his sense of entitlement means that he re-appears on the internet for a while, I'm all for it.

Chris Chan is fantastic. If he was a character in a television show, people would be like: "Who the fuck created this guy? He's so freaking over the top it's stupid, no one is like that in real life." I remember that video, along with the one where he demanded AXE ban homosexuals from purchasing their products, since he didn't want gay people buying the same things as him. (Someone needs to tell him that gay people also love McDonald's and Hungry Man dinners, he'd probably starve himself to death...) Hell a Chris Chan episode would be much more enjoyable then a Lady Gaga one. Imagine the shock when people find out he's A REAL THING. It will be like Wing x 100.

Yeah...in hindsight now I see the error of my ways.  Hopefully someone won't stalk my whole life on here. When you google that username, I actually get a bodybuilder forum as a result...let's go with that. Those auctions end in 2 days if anyone is interested, one person is watching the comics. It makes me think of my childhood and how important those comics were to me at the time. Oh well, now I got Futurama to keep me satisfied!

Just one celebrity cameo? We'd be lucky if that was the case! I remember the 300th ep celebration, that was lame. Is it really worth celebrating the 500th ep when half of them are shit? Talk about a severe case of quantity over quality. I guess it is an impressive milestone, at least in terms of numbers, and in terms of all the work those poor animators had to do animating such terrible scripts...

According to Fox it was, yes, although technically it was the 302nd ep. It has Blink 182 in it, but apparently that wasn't enough, they had to come back for the Movie too. For shame!...
