TV Good lord, it's
Ian Jones (from
TV Cream and
Off The Telly) writing about The Simpsons
in The Guardian:
"Plots swung sickeningly from one cliche to another. Jokes arrived out of the blue for no reason. No attempt was made to cling to reality. Now Homer would end up in new employment six or seven times a series. To date, he's held 118 (and counting) jobs, from missionary to garbage commissioner to grease salesman to fortune cookie writer, which wouldn't be such a damning statistic had almost none of them been particularly funny."
Great article too. I stopped watching
The Simpsons a decade ago for all of those reasons ...
