Anyone who doesnt get the humor in the Simpsons is probably a big supporter of the Parents Television Council.
If the Simpsons suck so bad, how has it become the longest running animated series in history and the longest running show currently on tv?
The Simpsons RULE!
Lisa Simpson: Grampa, didn't you wonder why you were getting checks for doing nothing?
Abe Simpson: I thought it was because the democrats are in power again.
Sideshow Bob Terwilliger: You can't keep me and my criminal buddies in jail forever. The democrats will win the White House someday.
I too understand that people have different tastes in television, but to say that "The Simpsons" or "Family Guy" are not funny baffles me. Been a fan of The Simpsons since day one, and although some episodes are lacking, overall it is one of the funniest, most intelligent shows ever. Family Guy is one of the few shows that I think is close to the same level as The Simpsons. I did think the first season was better, but it is still funny. I think part of the problem with some people not liking it is that some of the jokes require you to have knowledge of what they are making fun of - and some people just don't have a wide range of knowledge.
Now, one of the funniest things this season on Family Guy was "The Special Persons Games". The two T.V. reporters are the best. The Willie Wonka parody was priceless.
