everything is possible with the Simpsons

In response to the post on the Multimedia Metablog; the Simpsons have a multigenerational feel - kids enjoy the banality while older viewers enjoy the humour that often has adult-themed undertones; sexual, political, reference to other media eg popular film. I watch it with the kids (except for the endless repeats) and can't say I have a favourite episode, but Lisa is definitely my favourite character.
