Aww...come on folks...Simpsons is a great show. Intelligent probably
isn't the word...wise-ass is  more like it. And I certainly
don't think most of the gags are for geeks. Do those who caught
Homer's 'Don't Fear the Reaper' reference agree?

By the way, Andy...what exactly do you mean when you say it's a
conservative show masquerading as subversive? Not that I ever really
saw Simpsons as subversive, but I've never considered it
conservative, either.
