Celebrating its 20-year anniversary and 450th episode, The Simpsons stands alone. Of course, it's a splendid isolation as, officially, the longest-running prime-time show in television history and, unofficially, as the most successful and influential creation in pop culture history. Simply put, The Simpsons has changed the world we live in.

Hilarious stuff. You have to just laugh sometimes at absurdity, we all identify with SOMEONE on the show. Matt, COngrats, do a few more years!

It’s okay. You are not the only person in the world that doesn’t understand satire.

Click around on the television. I’m sure The Three Stooges are on somewhere.

MOST people don’t get satire. It’s a very, very sad disease. I’m hoping Obamacare will take care of it (really).

Says you.

There is no accounting for taste. OTOH, the Three Stooges is good stuff.

I haven’t watched the Simpson’s in years. Back in the early to mid 90’s it was my favorite show. I can recall being in the North Carolina Mountains and I could only pick it up on a tiny portable TV by walking around until I found a spot where the reception was good.

I didn’t make a conscious decision to quit watching it. It just got to where it wasn’t very good anymore. Some day I will check in again. Maybe it has gotten good again.

Same here, and I don’t find anything worthy of wasting my time watching on television either. It’s a wasteland period IMO, so don’t watch it at all.

I feel sorry for those that are stuck with nothing to do except watch the damned tv.

Read a book, or make something in ones creative workshop, be it on the back porch, or in a spare room, or in the garage. It’s amazing what one can do besides waste time watching the damned television with all of its outright Leftist propaganda, and Leftist sleight-of-hand subliminal messaging. Especially the alleged news programs.
