I promise I'll do anything for you, especialy if it's easy. Homer Simpson

Oftentimes, what seems to be a street lunatic charging at me spouting gibberish turns out to be a devoted 'Simpsons' fan quoting their favorite line.

The world ends when I die. And as far as I'm concerned, the rest of the universe might as well call it a day too.

It's a funny show. The characters are surprisingly likable, given how ugly they are. We've got this huge cast of characters that we can move around. And over the last few seasons, we've explored some of the secondary characters' personal lives a bit more.
