Simpsons rip into Apple

9
Appearing on the Simpsons has always been considered a cultural barometer. If you've been to Springfield and met TV's favourite dysfunctional yellow family, you know you've really made it.

And now Steve Jobs and his company Apple have been parodied in the latest episode of the longest running cartoon series in television history.

Even as bad as Season 11 and 14 were at times, the Simpsons remain totally relevant even today. I absolutley love the writing on the show and Tom Gammill and Max Pross are just super, super, super, ingenious guys. The best in the tv industry and Sienfeild got even better when they signed on, if you ask me. The Merv Griffin episode was the absolute best.

That was a great parody. I wish that I could say that I still find The Simpsons relevant and entertaining today though. They're just not cutting edge like they used to be. New programmes are doing things which The simpsons wouldn't dare broadcast.

The Simpsons have never had more than 2 cheap laughs in any of their episodes... Family Guy and the rest of the run of the mill junk you see ae loaded with them. The writers for those shows are just not as versed or skilled, sorry. The Simpsons are a social commentary on pop culture... right down to Springfield being run on Nuclear power... The Simpsons is hands down the most intelligently written animated show on tv. Always has been and probably always will be.

Simpsons is actually the longest running tv series ever. Not just longest running cartoon series.

The parody on Apple was so funny, yet so true.

Still.. mac hardware + OS X 10.5 is the best computing experience I've ever had.

Using linux has had it's fun (yet frustrating moments) too =)

I stopped watching the Simpsons since they started making Fox 5 jokes every episode. Also, the episode where Homer thinks that their Muslim neighbors are terrorists is just insulting.
