'The Simpsons' is about alienation and the ambivalence of living with a family who you love but who drive you completely crazy.

The thing about a cartoon is, you can do whatever you want. The tightrope that we are walking on 'The Simpsons' and 'Futurama' is "How do you continue to surprise the audience, but make them good surprises?" Not every surprise is good, but you want to continue jolting people.

If at first you don't succeed - give it up. It isn't worth the pain.
