The Simpsons BEST TV SHOW!

The Simpsons is the longest running animated TV series since The Flinstones, and you could understand why after watching just one of the Simpsons episodes. Simply because The Simpsons is just so hilarious and incredibly clever and has been ripped off so many times, but nothing has come close to the brilliance that the Simpsons writers have brought us.

We have Homer Simpson, one of the most beloved TV characters of all time, with his famous quote "Doh!". He's an overweight, lazy, and not the brightest bulb, but so incredibly lovable for the fact of how bipolar he is! One minute he can be so incredibly depressed, but the next minute really happy and giggling. My favourite Homer quote is when he kills the zombie Ned Flanders in a Halloween episode, Bart tells him "Dad! You killed the zombie Flanders!"... "He was a zombie?" Marge is Homer's wife and a homemaker. She is at times naggy, but always manages to get in some terrific humour and some deep sympathy with all she puts up with. My favourite Marge quote is "Bart, don't make fun of grad students. They've just made a terrible life choice." Bart is the oldest son and a rebel. His usual quotes are "Don't have a cow" "Cool, man!" "Ei Carumba!". He's this generation's Dennis the Menace. My favourite Bart quote is "I need a soul, Ralph, any, yours!", you'll see what I mean.

Lisa is the second oldest and the smartie pants of the Simpson clan, she's kind of the know it all who solves all the adventures of the Simpsons. My favorite Lisa quote is "They're only using you for your pool you know... shut up brain! I have friends now, I don't need you anymore!". Last, but not least, Maggie, the eternal baby of Homer and Marge, always a great love of the screen, but no famous quotes, just memorable moments like when she turns into an alien.

The supporting cast is a terrific addition, my favourites include Mr. Burns, Homer's boss, Groundskeeper Willy, the school janitor, and Mr. Skinner, the school principal. The Simpson is just a terrific show that in one way or another you will see at least one episode in your lifetime. I know that generations to come, they will still be watching The Simpsons.

Slumdog Millionaire GREAT MOVIE however it's not suitable for younger people

Amazing film is inspiring, but too mature for younger children. Slumdog Millionaire is a powerful story about true love, and its struggles. The film is absolutely beautiful, and entertaining. And if you haven't seen it be sure not to miss it. Parents Section: Violence: The violence in the film is not graphic, and is kept at a PG-13 level, although some of the violence involves children which makes it slightly more disturbing. The film starts with the main character being beaten, nearly drowned to death, and electrocuted by police officers. The violence is much milder than it sounds. A scene takes place where a riot against, Muslims is being held. This scene includes; burnings, beatings, and murder. The scene lasts for about 2 minutes, and is quickly edited making it "again" much milder than it sounds. There is also a scene where a man blinds a boy with hot oil, using a spoon to drop it into his eyes. As he pours the hot oil into his eyes, it is blurred. Making it once again, milder than it sounds. Language: There are some cuss words in the film, but not what you would expect from an R rated movie. The words used are "S--t", "Hell", "D-mn", "Cr-p", "P---y", and two non-sexual uses of "F--ing" The words are only said through some parts of the film, and is not used at a constant rate. Sex: A main character, in a female role is sold into sex slavery, though it is only implied. As well other sexual scenes are only implied and not shown. A very young boy's buttocks are seen in a non sexual way. The strongest scene in the film when pertaining about sex would be when two young boys enter a brothel. And see a quick glimpse of a man and a woman kissing, although they are both clothed at this point and no nudity is visible. Drinking/Drugs: Many drinking, and even up to the point where some children are seen drinking hard liquor. Messages and Role Models: There are consequences to the bad things that characters do in the film. As well as messages about doing whatever it may take to make your dreams come true.
