All *normal* people like the simpsons.
Back to the mocks, they're great! Like the view of Springfield behind Kent. Any ideas for the titles?

Indeed. It works on many levels too so idiots who watch Fox (
) can enjoy the programme as well as people with an IQ greater than their shoe size. It's even quite political in places.
You'll note one episode is based almost entirely on Lord of the Flies!
And I hate the mocks because they're bulky and yucky and gaudy and use too many colours and use that horrible photoshop border effect that should be left to rot along with Comic Sans MS unless it can be used well... it doesn't even follow The Simpsons' style. Those mocks wouldn't even pass on a rubbish internet TV channel's budget remake of the Simpsons, and that's saying something..

You have commited a sin, thy son.
Smit thee.
Actually, he's quite accurate. The Simpsons ceased being funny about 6 years ago. Family Guy probably gave them a bit of a shove up the arse recently, and they've tried some odd gimmicks (Homer went incredibly surreal for a while but it wasn't pulled off so well) and trying to use Family Guy's trademark flashbacks - it's all fallen flat, and it's tragic to see what was once a masterpiece is being dragged out for at least 5 more years...

I liked the endcap with the "if you wish to complain, please tell anyone but us". That's true Springfield right there. I like these.

The later series really are quite cheap... indeed The Simpsons had its heyday around 1990 when it started. I still like the first few "seasons" though!
