The Simpsons

The first episode of The Simpsons — "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" — originally aired 22 years ago today.

Some people on this board have never known a world where the Simpsons weren't on TV.

BTW - The Simpsons are a way better series than Seinfeld ever was.

 

Now you're just trying to taunt Buck.

 

Buck cheated in the long-ago poll Simpsons vs. Seinfeld.

 

The Associated Press and the First Amendment Coalition conducted an extensive review of those poll results.
The poll results are good, despite the continued Al Gore whining about stolen elections.

 

My stance on that statement is clear.

 

Got a kick out of this when the kerfuffle started:

‘The Simpsons’ Responds to Criticism About Apu With a Dismissal

Responds to a documentary, "The Problem with Apu."
You Love ‘The Simpsons’? Then Let’s Talk About Apu

Of course Apu is caricature. So is everyone else on the show.

It's a cartoon.

 

No caricature for you!

 

Now hold on a second. You could justify any racial stereotype that way.

"It's a joke!"
