The sophistication of “The Simpsons”.
If you don’t know by now, I’m a huge fan of “The Simpsons”. The classic, early years AND the current episodes. I never stopped watching, even during that *very* rough period in the ealy aughts.
Why? Just watch the video below from Vulture which celebrates the landmark show’s thirty years on television (it first appeared as a series of shorts on “The Tracey Ullman Show” in April 1987 before getting it’s on show in 1989).
