The Simpsons is Sunday school compared to South Park.

A lot of the other cartoons, such as Family Guy, are a lot worse, but still years ago The Simpsons went from all wholesome to double-entendres every show and stuff like Bart’s friend parents getting divorced, and Ned’s wife dying.

All wholesome? Did you ever watch the first Simpsons?

The Simpsons also use to be funny and fun to watch now they are desperate to keep up with Family Guy.
I think Futurama was much better. Too bad they ended that show.

I didn’t watch the first Simpsons because I couldn’t get past the poor production values.

Well, Maude was killed because the lady that did her voice quit. It was an excellent episode. The video Homer made to get Ned dating was hilarious.

And yes, that is a real issue of Christianity Today. In fact, there was an article about Ned in my Sunday paper.

If memory serves me right, the Simpsons because the longest running prime time cartoon way back in 1997, possibly early 1998.
