    Eh, I still love the Simpsons. It hasn't been laugh out loud funny in years, but it's a part of my childhood. I rarely catch the new episodes but I always watch the repeats that air in syndication. It's still better than about 80% of all the shows on t.v. That isn't saying much but I still appreciate the fact that they are chugging along. #margesimpson

    I thought this episode was okay. I liked the Superintendent Chalmers and Principal Skinner scene. #margesimpson

    The Simpsons still has enough credit in my book to do at least a (non-consecutive) season's worth of stupid episodes, but now that the merchandising craze is over and the movie has been made, maybe it's time to quit. I do enjoy the fact that Europe loves the Simpsons and I would not enjoy all of the farewall hoopla that a Simpsons finale would gather, but though some may argue that Sesame Street and SNL have run their course, the Simpsons truly have, and I'd like to see them retire with some dignity. #margesimpson

    @VioletViolet: I think the ship sailed on retiring with dignity about 4 seasons ago.

    The Simpsons is the Willie Mays of TV. #margesimpson

    @VioletViolet: They should only make 4 episodes a year or something. Let the writers work with more material. Cranking out 13 episodes a year has to be hell.

    The world loves the Simpsons. I knew a guy from India who learned to speak American from watching the Simpsons. He learned English with 2 years of school and pirate satellite broadcasts. The kids wanted to be hip and cool and that meant understanding the American shows. The Simpsons does so much for democracy and promoting an American way of life that the U.S. should be broadcasting it 24/7 to turn hearts and minds our way. It would probably work. #margesimpson

    @bens: I totally agree. In Spain they love the Simpsons, too. That's how they explained the word for "burp"--"eructo"--to me. "Like Homer Simpson. Blaaah." And I understood.

    Hate the man, love the hair -- got it. Has anyone pointed out his resemblance to Alberto Gonzales? Slap a pair of specs on him and you'll see.

    Didn't they have a contest before the movie came out a couple years ago? I think Vermont won and they're now considered to be the official town of the Simpsons.

    @JT Courchesne: I don't know. I used to live in Portland, OR where Matt Groening is from. Many of the street names were used for Simpson characters. I'm pretty sure there is a Springfield, OR, but I really think he just wanted to use a ubiquitous town name.
