Simpsons

Mark, Paul, and I just watched the Simpson’s 20^th anniversary special. I have mixed feelings about the show. I don’t like them to make fun of religion. And they are vulgar at times. But I like the smart comedy. I like the characters; they are endearing in their disfunction. You can’t help but like them, from Apu to Milhouse to the family itself. I like the way the family sticks together, whatever crazy stupid things they do. How Marge keeps loving Homer no matter what. How Homer so sincerely repents, and then immediately messes up again. How Maggie sucks that binky and looks so wise. Watching Simpsons, you can laugh at that family’s wacky ways and come away loving your own wacky family more.
