The Genius Within

You may or may not be aware that The Simpson's has been running for only five or so years less than I have been alive...that is a long time in TV years. You may be asking yourself how in the world a cartoon can captivate the world so. Allow me to explain.
Number One: The Simpson's is still a family oriented show. In the days of Friends and Will and Grace it's refreshing that no one is really sleeping around to find their self-worth, but rather exploring wild get rich quick schemes.
Number Two: It's very cleverly written. People tend to underestimate the hilarity that lies within The Simpson's. There are always several dimensions of funny. There is the low-brow, slap-stick funny; there's sophisticated cultural moments that one must be on there toes for; and of coarse there is the oh so in your face political/social statements that remind us that as a society, sometimes we are ridiculous.
Number Three: Every situation that occurs in my life can be compared to an episode of the Simpson's. There is always a well fitting quote to spout off and often a song that can make me chuckle!
All in all what I am saying here is that if you don't like The Simpson's, give them a second chance. They are not the most offensive television program out there and they aren't based around sex and other immoral acts. So think Yellow, think Family, think The Simpson's!
