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!!!!
