as i said yesterday in reply to olivers post concerning the simpsons,i also
agree that the prog does touch on some political points here and there, how
do i know if i dont watch it any longer? my dear neice loves it,so goes on
about it and so does her daughter,who is only 5yrs.....
however,on a whole,the show just does not do it for me ;-/ guess its the
simpsons brand of humour,they havnt got any ;-D)),its just stupid and there
silly-- i dont find it entertaining or amusing,just annoying ;-/havent
watched it since it first came out around 16 odd years ago,that was only
because i wanted to know what the fuss was all about that the madia were
making about simpsons!!!!
