The Simpsons #2

1.4-1.10

            Surprisingly high quality already. The bowling episode (I forgot how close Marge gets to cheating on Homer) and the Statue of Jebadiah Springfield episode in particular are pretty funny in parts. Apart from the animation and odd voices, a lot of people complain that the early ones are generally light on laughs, and they're kind of right - the gag ratio really rockets in two seasons or so. But the thing is, and it's probably just because The Simpsons is so large a part of a lot people's youths, they're never not charming. I can pretty much happily watch any episode of the Simpsons. It's never a chore, an opinion that will hopefully last for the next 21 seasons.
