“When authorities warn you of the sinfulness of sex, there is an important lesson…” — Matt Groening

Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.

'The Simpsons' is an especially collaborative show.

I may be biting off more than I can chew, but with 'The Simpsons' and with 'Futurama,' what I'm trying to do in the guise of light entertainment, if this is possible - is nudge people, jostle them a little, wake them up to some of the ways in which we're being manipulated and exploited.

Because good writing in a TV cartoon is so rare, I think the animation on The Simpsons is often overlooked.
