The Simpsons has just got to be the UK's favourite American TV show. The episodes are repeated again and again, many Brits know the lines off by heart, so popular are The Simpsons.
But, this is incredible!
Our very own Prime Minister starring along with Homer? I can't wait!

See there...who said the Brits didn't have good taste?
This may be a situation where we are being laughed at not laughed with!

The Simpson's is one of our ALL TIME favorite shows. I've seen the episode you're speaking of, it's hilarious. I hope you enjoy it. Just remember....Homer Simpson is an EXAGGERATION of a typical American male, ok??? We constantly cringe at what a low class slob he is, and are thankful that we don't actually KNOW anyone who is as bad as he is.

I remember the speech that Bush Snr made where he said that people should be more like the Waltons and less like the Simpsons.
Typical right-wing christian preaching showing a lack of understanding of the realities of everyday life and that he missed the main point:
Home is a loser. Everything in life goes wrong for him. But he loves his family and tries his best. That makes him a hero.
It's a great show.
I love the show because of its ability to make fun of people with such extreme personality's. Also many writers from the show worked on SAturday Night Live as writers including Conan O'Brien who I think can be cutting edge sometimes.
It's on Sky 1, 8 pm tonight.
Englishman, salivating.
