” Ned Flanders is considered one of the most likable characters on television. “

TV needs more likeable characters like Ned Flanders, but sometimes when I watch the Simpsons and Ned is cast, I get the feeling that the show’s producers are making jokes at Ned’s expense.

It is almost as they set up Ned where he and other Evangelical Christians are made fun of through satire.

Ned Flanders was clearly an object of ridicule, albeit a likeable one.

You get the feeling? They are making jokes at Ned’s expense!

“It is almost as they set up Ned where he and other Evangelical Christians are made fun of through satire.”

This is the “Simpsons” not “Touched by an Angel” Ned is satire.
