Sadly you are correct.
I’ve just started to re-read “Decision in Philadelphia: The Constitutional Convention of 1787” by Christopher Collier and James Lincoln Collier and it’s an effing GREAT book! I wish we could print billions of copies and airdrop them all over the country for these fools to read.
Unfortunately, most of these goofs are already braindead from attending public schools and decades of fine television entertainment beamed into their heads.
Damn, book me on the next flight to Mars and next time we’ll do this thing right!
In fairness to idiots who think that everything we have in the USA is provided by The Freedom Fairy (among them 99% of Liberals) the 1st Amendment hasn’t been on TV for the past ... what? ...50 years? like The Simpsons.

Rumor has it the girl’s mother was Betty Rubble.
Shhh! That was back at Bedrock High, in her Sophmore year. Those records are sealed.
What is this all about? I don’t watch the Simpson’s, don’t watch asny of the reality shows............One of my fellow ER Nurses (a male RN) said to me a couple of days ago “I bet you don’t watch too much TV - You are too active”...........Yup, he’s right ........I did tell him that I spend too much time on the computer blogging............reality TV? Get a life!!!!!!!!!
Kee-Rect, Dottie! See #13
Meh, I don’t watch that much TV anymore, and by far most of it is after you old farts go to bed. All Simpsons knowledge comes from years ago - The Simpsons stopped being worth watching years ago. Even the recent Sideshow Bob (my favorite character, and he used to be my avatar) episode was quite lame. When it stopped being the Bart Show and went to being the Homer Show, it spiraled down the toilet quite quickly.
Family Guy does (or did?) what The Simpsons does much better, and American Dad is even better still (as long as we are staying with FOX, which is the only network with anything like that). The best is what is playing on Adult Swim - Cartoon Network after 2300, when all the kiddies and geezers are asleep. Most of it is good, much better than the Simpsons. Some of it is 5- dreck, though, just like everything.
Los Simpsons are getting tres passe’ (that’s pseudo-frog-latin for Old Hat) what’s hot stuff (and also in the same alleged state as OCM) is ”South Park”. :rulez:
First IT is hot, then only fit for The Masses, then passe, then dreadful, finally looked back on as a wonderful part of The Golden Age.
What is sad is that South Park is probably the smartest comedy on right now, since Arrested Development is canceled, and Venture Bros. is only in production. (Venture Bros. has one season, but then it went out of production for a while and is only coming back in June.) Isn’t sad that SP is smart, but sad that there is not much better than soulless gingers, daywalkers and virgin Mary statues bleeding out their vaginas (NOT a miracle, since “chicks bleed out of their vaginas all the time.").

I barely recall B&C—do not believe our one Channel, Channel 6, carried it.
