I apologsie if this topic has been mentioned before. But does anyone else like the Simpsons?
What do you like best about them? Did you like the movie or do you like the Television show better?
I've also done a poll and this time it's multi choice.:)

I'll elaborate.
My favourite character is Lisa Simpson. She is one of the most interesting and sensible characters there are in Springfield. She is intelligent and in so many ways I can relate to her.
The television show, is one of my all time favourites. And yes, I am a Simpson's nerd. Whilst i like all the episodes, I have to say that one of my favourites is Lost our Lisa. It highlights the relationship with Homer and Lisa. After all Homer doesn't understand Lisa, because she is not like him or Bart. And Marge does not understand Lisa either. Also, in a bizarre way my family life (it isn't like the Simpsons but) was slightly comparable in this episode with at the beginning Lisa is promised that they can visit the Isis exhibit but Bart well messes it up for her and has to be taken to hospital. So, as I mentioned I can relate to Lisa in many ways.
As to the movie, I was disappointed. I thought there would be so much more to it than a couple of quite tasteless jokes. Although I suppose it could have been worse...
Any views?

I really like the Simpsons too, especially those episodes which in some way address real issues. Same as you Lisa is the character in the family I could most likely associate with, though she certainly does have her less sanguine moments and is not always able to tolerate whenever someone does not share her idealism.
I did not have a major issue with the movie, but was not overenthusiastic about it either. If they make another one I am going to watch it. If they don't I would not cry my eyes out about it.

Oh I didn't cry. Felt quite disappointed.
