uh-oh, another A.V Club A-Z list. Looks like my barometer is dropping; looks like a shit storm on the horizon.

It's moments like these that people always forget about the simpsons. Sure, the show is groin grabingly funny, but it really cuts to the heart when it emotes.

phh, why should I listen to you? Your probably that phony pope with his foul mouth and hi-top sneaks.

I can never get over these guys indignation when "reviewing" episodes.

Back in the day it was singing the Mr. Plow song… Family Guy ruined it.

I counted once how many times the Simpson family has had the chance to have a million dollars or similar, it comes up a lot.

The Heart family has a wrestling Dynasty where I live. Its strange to think that someone from my city is immortalized in The Simpsons.

"That voice, that shrill disagreeable voice!"

And he isn't even the only wrestler in the neighborhood.

She had her moments for sure. I've watched the entire series despite my apprehension for Peggy episodes.

I've always had a love-hate relationship with Peggy of KotH. She was never over-the-top enough -like Cotten- to make me really like her as a character. Her general annoyances just irked me over the years of watching the show till I eventually hated her.

You might be right that nothing followed matched the levels of emoting that this seen reaches, some would argue stuff before is equally great. I think that this scene is so powerful because it is using a complex mix of Simpsons tools. The animation while understated is perfect in its deception of human rapture, its…

Can't say this is surprising given his condition. R.I.P Mr. Simon, you will never be forgotten and your spirit, juju, ethos, whatever the fuck you believe it is, will span the rest of this civilization.

Thank you; both replies are well thought out and informative. First, a couple clarifies: I wasn't characterizing the deadpan delivery as a negative, just a comedic style the show employed. And,I don't buy into the answer "You either find it funny or you don't." Your multiple points above that sentence undermine the…

I'm not asking why I should find it funny; I'm asking what makes it funny for you. There's a world of difference between those two.

You're wrong karp, because I'm asking to have my opinion changed. I've seen this show be praised many times and I want to know why I didn't find it funny so if I feel like going back to watch it I can have a new way of looking at it. Tastes change, opinions change, knowledge changes those things; hence, that is why I…

My age has nothing to do with my opinion. I get you think there's an amount of nostalgia clouding this list, as well as my opinion, but that doesn't change the fact that the quality levels before and after the 90's for T.V. animation is vastly different. Are there great cartoons from the 80's, 70's, 60's… whatever,…

I like to think that there is more to a cartoon than just its style. Like how Animaniacs was a throwback to the vaudeville style of classic bugs bunny, but with new trappings.

Omg, thank you. It get it now!

That's because the 90's is a mecca of animation. T.V. animation hit its stride and excelled in that era. The oppressive views of the conservative majority were starting to be questioned again, and there was a re-embracing of the past.
