One Of My Favourite Shows

is soon to be 500,

due to be aired on Feb. 19 the Simpsons will be 500 episodes old, a few facts lifted from the article, in every half hour of every day, an episode of The Simpsons is broadcasting somewhere around the globe, now in its 23rd season (and contracted to run through a 25th), the show is the world’s most-watched U.S. television series with an average weekly global viewership of over 150 million viewers, and also lures in an average of nearly 8 million viewers in its regular Sunday-night prime time slot in the U.S. on Fox,


all of this despite the fact that twenty years ago, Evangelists and politicians denounced The Simpsons as a televised toxin that weakened parental authority and coarsened the culture,  they blasted the clan as a disgusting, dysfunctional unit that was unfit to anchor a prime-time cartoon, worse still, during his 1992 reelection campaign, President George H. W. Bush even pledged to help U.S. families be “a lot more like the Waltons and a lot less like the Simpsons,” a great quote used in some of episodes openings, but they are still with us in series 23 with plans to go on to series 25, way to go Simpsons!
