‘The Simpsons’ turn 20

    Amazing…I recall seeing some of those early shorts…never imagined that it would become the media colossus that it has, or that I would have spent so much of my adult life watching those characters!

    Slow start, uninspired finish. But there were about 10 good years somewhere in the middle.

    Simpsons is not appropriate for children.
