The Simpson's Movie?

Am I the only person in a 1st world country who hasnt been engulfed by the Simpsons ? My awkward confession is that ive never seen an episode of the show. Ever. I have no interest at all.

You would get on great with my mum and dad Jatz, they don't rate the show either. They are in their mid 70's however. 😉

If you are the same age as me it looks like it must have been a hard 26 years for you 😉 😉.

So im afraid the whole movie hype leaves me particularly unphased. (insert blank yellow circle with no smiley features at all)

I saw the first episode which screened in the same week as the Twin Peaks pilot.

Thought Twin Peaks was much better (and still do) and have never bothered to watch another Simpsons in full.

You are missing out Mata. The satire in the Simpsons is priceless!!!

American satire is an oxymoron.

It is far too obvious.

Sounds great. I guess then, we should meet up at the bowls club to discuss & enjoy a nice soup or roast of the day together. :lol:

In general I agree but if you don't watch it how do you know this is the case with The Simpsons.
As one seeking to understand Gen Y and their foibles, I would have thought it was perfect fodder for this. 8)

It's a Gen X show!

Bebo is more informative on Gen Y.

My conjecture is that it is also a Gen Y show! Look at its time slot and TV station. It crosses the gap between the two. Movies today are marketed towards the Under 20s primarily, as you know hence the visit to the Big Screen.

Its humour works at different levels for young kids, teenagers plus those older.
