The Simpsons
The Simpsons has been on the air for 29 years and last night a buddy said he has never seen it.
He was complaining about a sore lower back and I offered to go get a garbage can from outside and give him a Homer adjustment. Everyone else laughed. He said " My wife saw it and decided it wasn't worth watching". So he has never watched it. I find that extremely strange based on how much of the Simpsons has entered popular vernacular. But his wife is that controlling so I can see it happening.

The Simpsons have been very perceptive about what's going on or about to "go on".

I have never watched. I think it's extremely strange that you think that it's extremely strange that your friend never watched either.

It was a great show and probably still is, I haven't watched it in over 15 years but it spawned some catch phrases and Matt Groening is a genius.

I had it on this morning. I noticed whatever channel had it on was running every single episode ever in order.
I do not watch it like I used to, my kid will throw it on from time to time. I like Family Guy better. My older son keeps telling me to check out Rick and Morty I saw part of one episode while in a hotel room one night and it was really funny. Really sick humor.

I watched it for a few seasons but fell off watching... any TV series seems to get stale after a few years.
Tried family guy but didn't like it. Tried south park and it is very funny but the potty humor is just too much for me. Kinda funny how Simpsons and South Park both started as comedy shorts and now are considers to be American culture. Has anyone watched 'final space'? I believe it is available on youtube.

If it's on I'll watch, but don't go out of my way.
Prefer Family Guy, Stewie and Brian are funny.

The Simpsons is still on?
DOH! The voice for Marge (Julie Kavner) has (had?) a summer place just down the road from me. I was at a nursery specializing in rare and outstanding perennial flowers when the owner/friend informed me that the lady who just left was Marge Simpson. |

The Simpsons will do in a pinch, I'm more of an American Dad guy.
Clip on opening topic. The Spine-O-Cylinder The Spine-O-Cylinder | season 12 episode 10 | Simpsons World on FXX I wish that I could watch Archer more often.

I watched the first 15 years or so religiously every Sunday and now if I'm flipping through channels, I will always stop and watch it. Still love it, but have a lot more going on now. But Yes to Family Guy!! I also like Bob's Burgers too...
