I have their Second Volume - Season 3 DVD
Family Guy is crazy just like South Park and of course The Simpsons are a water down version that I like.
"I really fücking hate liberals."

rather an unsophisticated choice of syntax, but I appreciate the sentiment.
DO NOT compare the flavors of the month to "The Simpsons" Students in schools will study this fine exammple of American art a thousand years from now after our empire has crumbled, the way we study Shakespeare or Da Vinci or Mozart.
You took my post out of context. I meant water down in the sense of using shock as a tool.
The Simpsons has been and always be my favorite cartoon.
I predict (somewhat more confidently than I predict the reelection of the president) that it will be our culture's greatest contribution to world art. Groening will have to die of course, and our empire will have fallen, and who knows what medium they'll have after books and computers are obsolete, but when they think of the USA, they will think of "The Simpsons."
Those other shows are great, the way NYPD blue and The Wizard of Oz and Good Will Hunting are great, but they are not great works of art like the Mona Lisa, the Cistine Chapel, the Pyramid of Khufu, the sphinx, the Great Wall of China, Mozart's KV525, Wagner's Hochzeit Marsch, Shakespeare's Hamlet, and The Simpsons.
