Alright I said I was going to post twice today, I was thinking about what I wanted to post, going through all the things I might want to post maybe about movies, music, or directors I thought but then I remembered I had tototally forgot about TV. I probably forgot because all that’s on TV lately has been terrible but then I remembered the only show that is still any good that I can think of was The Simpsons! The best show EVER in my opinion. So I’ve decided to post my thoughts on the overall series.

The Simpson’s if someone hasn’t seen it, is a show that was started by Matt Groening. The show started with little one minute shorts on the Tracy Ullman Show, but then moved in 1989 to a regular series with the classic Christmas Special. The show became so popular, as the first season of oddly drawn character went along, slowly shaping the way the show would be forever. Most people back in the day probably thought this was just going to go away, but it didn’t because the show was actually well written and had some depth. The stories could be funny at one moment then heart breaking in the next. The episode could be about Homer, Bart, Lisa, or even one of the many great supporting characters like Krusty the Clown, Sideshow Bob, or Moe.

The show went on topping itself with each season having a uncountable number of special guests doing ever story you could think of and having all the best jokes (hence the episode of South Park "The Simpson’s Did It"). Many so called people who grew up with the show started to dislike and continue to dislike the show to the day, season 17. But I truly grew up with the show, born just around the time the series started and I have seen every single episode so I think I know when the show is good or not. Seasons like 10-12 are the worst in my opinion but that doesn’t mean they are totally bad, there are still some classic episodes in the series, but people treat it like the show was ruined and never could become better again. But now on season 17 I think this is so far the best season in recent years, the episodes are still hilarious and great fun to watch.

I will continue to watch anything with the Simpson’s in it forever. And I encourage all of you to do the same. Also if you like The Simpson’s stay away from Family Guy (I mean its funny but come on the episodes don’t hold up and all the jokes have been done. I got an idea lets take every joke from all the great shows and pack it into one episode. That doesn’t take talent and the characters are almost an exact rip-off of The Simpson’s. But Seth McFarlane does have voice talent) and watch some Futurama another great done by Matt Groening!

Just to point out The Simpson’s DVD sets are the best TV show sets out there and everyone should pick them up, they just released season 7, and season 8 is due out in the upcoming months. So now after all that if you watch The Simpson’s and don’t like them leave a comment and Ill see what I have to say about it. And if you happen to be a Family Guy fan tell me why you think the show is so good. Well I’m out, Peace! D’oh! You’re babbling incoherently, make sense man!

Oh yeah heres my friend Tim's Blog http://boltsfromthecorner.blogspot.com/ check it out sometime. He mentions me!

I agree with you on Family Guy. After you watch the episodes 2 times, it's not funny. And the new season isn't funny the first time.
