Wow, thanks for the post... I've watched the Simpsons since I was a kid, and I never knew he used so many family member's names for the characters.
It's still a witty show, relative to what's on, but it's definitely not as good as it was in the 90's. I don't know if ya'll had UPN in Portland, but it used to come on here on UPN right before and after some of the classics like Fresh Prince, the Wayans, Martin, Jamie Foxx, the Parkers, etc. Most of that stuff is on Centric now... good channel to check out if you grew up watching UPN. Anyway, that was always the go-to channel we'd watch after being called in for dinner as kids, so I've probably seen pretty much every one of their early episodes so much that I can quote that shit.
