That's right Bek and it's still the best show on TV bar none. So what does that say about the rest of the current crop of crap? CB (PJs fan but they went and cancelled it!) Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 13:20:36 -0500From: "Bek" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: I am a ticket As usual I'll probably get beaten, flogged, flattened, tarred, feathered and hanged for this heinous crime, but I'm going to dissent from the ranks and reveal the awful truth, (as un-Bespokey as it may be): I hate the Simpsons. I've found it to be mild, predictable, unfunny, and plain boring for years. I've given it chance after 1/2 hour chance, have been advised on all the "best" episodes from fans, watched it with friends while drunk, all to no avail. It just doesn't make me laugh. It's the same crap every episode: Bart's a troublemaking smartass, Lisa's the voice of reason, Marge growls, Homer acts stupid and says d'oh, the guy at the bar belches, the Quickie Mart guy babbles nonsencically in accent, etc. etc., all laced heavily with smarmy satirical social commentary and a lot of tired irony. The Krusty Mod thing is clever, sure, but still not enough to make me like that fucking show. Matt Groening should have hung it up in '96 at least.
