Bart Simspon


Bart is the embodiment of all things prank and rowdiness. Yet, he has a lovable side, he cares for his sister Lisa even stuck-up for her a few times. He is the epitome of young male adolescence in many ways. TIME has written a magnificent article on this little hell raiser! Read it Here

Another great article about Bart

The Simspons longevity?

Personally I love the Simpsons but the series has gone on far too long. The Simpsons are currently airing season twenty! Personally I believe the Simpsons should have ended around season ten. Though it does have the title of longest running sitcom. The Culture Blog sums it up well by saying: "There's a feeling that The Simpsons Movie has come too late, with the show's writing already past its best. The quaint storylines with heart have gone, replaced by bizarre, disjointed plots (Principal Skinner as Armin Tamzarian in season nine, anyone?), and the characters, if such a thing were possible, have become caricatures of themselves. If they can't make a coherent plot lasting 20 minutes, how will they fill 90?" (Read the whole article here)

I have to completely agree with the above statement. The Simpsons has gone far past its prime. Matt Groening (Creator of the simpsons) said that once a movie is made that it will most likely note the end of the series. I wish he was right! Two more seasons have gone on since the movie was produced. When will it end?!
