I was talking to this girl who I found interesting and she mentions that she really likes the new seasons of The Simpson’s and Family Guy. I told her I also like the shows but only the earlier seasons, to which she said she’s never watch them because she thinks they were boring.

I had a Seinfeld moment and suddenly my mind was simply occupied with “boring? BORING??” And thinking about what kind of person finds modern simpsons entertaining

    The first seven seasons of The Simpsons, the golden age, belong to an America that doesn't exist any more. 3 kids in a family, mom a homemaker, dad has a good job that allows him to own a house and support them all, two cars, benefits. That America of the lower middle-class was crushed by globalization. It's as alien today to people as we find Cold War blackballing and McCarthyist ideological witch-hunts.
