I understand that this was one of the first cartoon shows that is made for adults and broke some ground for others, but I just don't see the amazing qualities and praise heaped on it. It is like saying that some monster film from the 1920s broke ground for future horror masterpieces. Only a couple of movie buffs care about the old silent film, and while I might watch it to understand early films, I wouldn't say it was greater and more entertaining than Texas Chainsaw or Exorcist. For some reason, everyone seems to feel indebted to the Simpsons as some great institution--however, I have simply hated and abhorred this show since my childhood, when it first started coming on. I have watched several episodes, or partial episodes off-and-on for years, and this show is about as boring and cheesy as it gets. I really don't get the appeal. I cannot BELIEVE THIS SHOW IS STILL ON TV IN PRIMETIME Sunday PROGRAMMING!!! Also, why is everyone yellow with pointy heads and crap? They all look like they have jaundice and deformities. Nothing about this show appeals to me. The characters are stupid and ugly. The messages are lame. The voices are annoying. The stories aren't nearly as hysterical and fast-paced like numerous other shows.King of the Hill, Family Guy, Beavis & Butthead, American Dad, Cleveland Show, South Park-- all of these are 100 times funnier and more interesting. The Simpsons is such a borefest, I usually can't even finish an entire episode without changing channels. Strangely, most people on IMDb that give all the other cartoon shows bad ratings, use this show as the standard and claim that the Simpsons is the champion of animation comedy. PUHHHLEASE! They must find stuff like colonoscopies and jury duty exciting.Plus, the show has been on for so many years, that it just doesn't even appeal to anyone now. When is the last time, seriously, that you have heard anyone at work or school laughing about something on the Simpsons??????? Uhh...I don't think I've ever heard anyone reference them for my entire life, and no one has ever asked me to sit down over beers and laugh at the Simpsons. Everyone is always laughing about South Park and Family Guy, because they are actually hilarious and outrageous. None of the Simpsons creator's shows are that funny, in reality. I think he just knows the right people or sucks the right people on the casting couch. His shows are lame and mediocre, but I guess some nerds still watch it.

The show is really good. A lot of humor. What I like the most is that it can be watched by little children and adults at the same time. A lot of funny moments. I have watched every single episode some of them more than once and have not came to a bad one. In my country the show is aired on FOX and the allow us to choose the language so that we can understand the funny moments more correct which is nice.
