Oh you're right , we should have a loud gay "family" from san francisco with one adopted and one artificially inseminated kid in and their "value" system to "worship" and laugh at instead! That would be so much better!
LOL @ the bitterness over a straight CARTOON family being so popular! |
You coudn't have said that! You are tolerant! You said so! LOL!!!!
Its nothing to do with bitterness, I just don't find it funny. If I hated the Simpsons for "straigtness" I'd have to hate Futurama too. You really need to figure out why you hate so much.
Besides the whole cast of Futurama is straight.  So there goes your thory.
The Simpsons is just not funny, "to me" for cultural reasons. The simpsons family unit that does not appeal to me like the sort I like does not appeal to you.
The whole point of this thread is why some shows might appeal to some and others not so much as seen through a filter of aspergers.
You brought up "gay" Mr.Tolerance. Try to stay on topic. 
But you won't I'm guessing you will pull every thread off topic to make phobe posts. Bet I'm right? Hmm???

Im intolerant of intolerant people! I dont hate gays but even if i did i would leave that for the political section. You're hatred of good straight families couldnt be any more evident. You hate to see a nuclear, loving, all american family that value each other. I pity you!

Must make it hard to shave if you can't look in the mirror.
Your level of "tolerance" has been admirably displayed. thank you BTW.
Good job taking me out of context, you said hate, I said bored, I leave the hate to you.
A show about the life of trappist monks would have about as much interest for me for the same reasons. Its not my dance, I never said people shouldnt live like like that, or that it was wrong, jsut that it didn't hold anything for me, I'm all for people having ANY loving and supportive familes no matter what or who they are composed of, that care is not tied to the gender of the caregiver, you are the one who hates the "wrong" sort of famlies, not me.
You need to bend everything I say to fit your agenda, Notice, I reply to what you say, you just sulr and make up fictional dialog for me, you are bereft of actual ideas.
But keep hijacking threads and pulling them off topic, I want to see how long it takes you to get banned.

LOL, have you noticed how many threads that you have commented on just to insult me? I have just pointed out you're bigotry towards straight people here. A valid critisism. Pot and kettle!
I wont comment on the rest because as usual you're lying. Im finished with you! |

Thing is I find (early) episodes of the Simpsons to be generally a lot funnier than Futurama, but I find that the characters of Futurama have grown on me and I tend to like them more (where as if I ran into Homer in real life, I'd probably turn around and walk the other way). I especially like Professor Farnsworth

 Whats ironic about this is that Simpsons was started as a show about a negative, dysfunctional, 'real-life' family to separate it from the standard perfect white teeth, perfect-table-manners type of family. Somewhere along the way, the Simpsons became that type of family.

Nonsense, almost all of my friends are straight, And you pulled this thread off topic, it was about social perception and television.
I generaly don't insult you, I insult your hateful and bigoted comments. And I will contune to do so as long as you keep pushing your hate agenda. Notice the only person here I seem to be having any problem with is you.
Find ONE anti straight comment I made anyhwhere, ONE. Bet I can find at least a half dozen homophobic comments you have made? Bet I can find them in a half hour?
Defending my queer family is not the same as atacking straight people, you really need to tune down that paranioa.
Why are you SO full of hate?

Thank you for an ON TOPIC POST!
But thats it exactly, I like the Planet express crew because they are the sort of Family I'd like to come home to/ Friends I'd like to have.
My kind of people, to use a phrase.
To me they are socially easier to understand and empathise with, my orginal assumtion was that it was aspergers realted, adn it still is, more or less. |

wow, topic. I can go with that.
I've generally enjoyed southpark, although mostly for its refusal to follow any rules at all. I worry it can't last much longer as its runningout of sacred cows to trample.
So why the Simpsons? Its always been a mystery to me, but then again i never saw the "early" shows. I'm not much of a tv viewer....... |

I dunno, i guess they were something new in that are a funny cartoon that saterised everything. They seemed to hit the spot as far as the characters they potray go. I suppose lots of people relate to and recognised the characters. There is a bit of homer in a lot of guys.
Now that the Simpsons has been around a long time and are running out of places to go and jokes to make with the same characters it seems to have lost a little of it's magic for me. Plus im older now. I guess South Park coming along and satirizing everything to even more ridiculously funny degrees hasnt helped the Simpsons case either. |

If I only ever saw the show from season 10 onwards I'd say the same thing. But The Simpsons is a show I grew up with, I've watched it since I was six. The Simpsons was around longer than Futurama, Family Guy, South Park etc. The Simpsons is where all those other shows mentioned began. And if you deliberately refuse to find something funny on the show just because you don't like the concept then I pity you. Even if I didn't like the concept of a show, I'm not going to pretend there's no good bits and nothing funny about the show.
Although maybe it's just a perception thing, when Futurama was on TV, I found it kinda hard getting into, I didn't get a lot of the jokes (although it definitely had it's moments), but I wish it was on for long enough so I could give it a chance. So maybe what you think of The Simpsons is what I remember thing of Futurama... and vice versa. Each to their own.
You like a show, watch it. You don't like it, don't watch it.

I liked the Simpsons, but the show ran out of gags really quick. To tell you the truth, I never thought Homer Simpson was even funny at all. 60% of the shows gags seemed to run on Homer doing something stupid and it was just.... eh. The other 40% was when the show focused on something else to satire and it was actually quite good.
Futurama is still leagues better, IMHO. It just has a better well-rounded cast then the Simpsons.
