Maybe 10 years ago, I might have put The Simpsons in my top 3, but the show hasn't been good in ages.

I know, what the Hell's up with that? I don't think I've laughed at the show since Hank Scorpio and season 8. It makes you wonder how bad the movie will be. If I see it, it'll be on somebody else's dime... not that I know of any theaters in New York that don't cost at least $10 to see... stupid "cultural mecca" trying to steal all my money...  :hatred:

King of the Hill. The Critic. Venture Brothers. im happy to see that King of the Hill was brought back. i still try to catch reruns of The Critic on comedy central when i can. though it gets too crude for me sometimes i also like Venture Brothers because of all the comic book references. i remember the old days of marvel comics and it looks like the shows creators do too.

South Park, by far. When it's on, it hits the satire pretty well. Plus, they take six days to do one episode, so if, for example, Obama does something on Wednesday, it's in the following episode a week later.

Beyond that, I prefer Simpsons and Family Guy, although that's been cancelled.

I don't like the McFarlane shows (Family Guy, American Dad, or the upcoming Flintstones.)

King of the Hill is one of my favorites....and I also picked other because I loved The Flintstones. An oldie but a goodie.
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

     Actually, I haven't seen DUCKMAN in years, but I liked it. I can tolerate THE SIMPSONS, but I find FAMILY GUY and AMERICAN DAD grotesque and useless, the cartoon equivalent of a ten year-old looking up dirty words in the dictionary. KING OF THE HILL I've always found funny, moreso since moving to Texas; there's a couple named Gribble in our Sunday School class.

     The rest I'm not familiar with. I watched SOUTH PARK once- they're very much like FAMILY GUY and AMERICAN DAD.
If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

Ya know, funny you mention Scorpio. He was originaly suposed to be the protagonist of the movie. But the writters thought it would be better to introduce a new (less funny) charecter instead.

I still watch The Simpsons regularly, but sometimes I think I'm the only one.  :teddyr:

I'm usually the first to defend anything Matt Greoning related, but I cannot excuse the finalle of the latest season, The entire thing was about.....wait for it....LADY GAGA.

Yep! my personal favorite was Heart of Ice. The episode that won an Emmy!
yeah no.

I'm really surprised how well Futurama is doing. I'm a Simpsons fan but for some strange reason I just can't get into Futurama. Someone explain it's appeal. The best IMO is South Park. It is the greatest vehicle for social satire ever created for TV.
