Sometimes… dead is better.

  • What is even going on in the Simpson. I never really got into that show. As a kid I think I liked it because kids are supposed to like cartoons. But it was never my go to show.

    I never became interested in it as I got older.

      It was a great commentary on 80’s working class life. Kind of like a middle finger to all the traditional family shows, really anarchist if you see it in the context of late 80’s television.

    • I don’t follow the most recent episodes. I usually find episodes to watch based on top ten lists or clips on youtube. I watched with my dad as a kid, because he was always watching it and I wanted to hang out with him. Like any cartoon it has a time period where it had some episodes that have critical acclaim. The episode You Only Move Twice is from 1996 and it’s one of my favorites. I would have turned three years old that year, so I probably didn’t watch it at the time.
