Well, almost twelve years on and I'm still hooked. The Simpsons is just classic. I remember seeing an the first series years ago and being completely transfixed. The whole dysfunctional family set-up had been done before with Roseanne and Married...With Children, but The Simpsons stood out as being special. I don't know whether it's because it's an animated show or whether it's the faultless scripts or the fantastic vocal cast or the wealth of characters, I just know I love it. Every episode is memorable, even below-quality episode still wipes the floor with most of the sitcom's on television today. The Simpsons has a become a part of modern culture, and I sincerely hope it can keep on going for a long time yet. I'm not sure how I'd react if it went off the air. Long may they grace our TV screens and long may I laze around watching endless repeats of it.
