Well what do you think? Of course if you don't like the show, i'm going to have to track you down and beat you with a Comic Book Guy action figure until you do.
------------------ Star Trek Gamma Quadrant Average Rated 8.32 out of 10 Smileys by Fabrux (with seven eps posted) *** "Oh, yes, screw logic, let's go for a theory with no evidence!" -Omega 11:48am, Jan. 19th, 2001 *** "I think this reason why girls don't do well on multiple choice tests goes all the way back to the Bible, all the way back to Genesis, Adam and Eve. God said, 'All right, Eve, multiple choice or multiple orgasms, what's it going to be?' We all know what was chosen" - Rush Limbaugh, Feb. 23, 1994.
Now, despite the fact that some people are going to say that's it's not as good as it used to be, blah blah blah, I will say that it will come to be regarded as a classic for a long while. Possibly more than any other TV show. The effort that goes into every episode, the fact that they all work on multiple levels, the fact that (heaven help us), it makes you think.
It is certainly the definitive TV show of the 90s. That's quite an accomplishment.

I dunno how it is elsewhere, but it seems like, everywhere I go, references to the show prevail. I mean, at the very least, you're likely to hear people say "D'oh!", if not even less obvious quotes.

I'm sure EVERYONE here has met someone in their own city/town that IS the Comic Book Store Guy...
------------------ Homer: I'm gonna miss Springfield. This town's been awfully good to us. Bart: No, it hasn't, Dad. That's why we're leaving. Homer: Oh, yeah. [pokes his head out the window] So long, Stinktown!

I walked into the Comic Swap yesterday to get a feel for it after moving here...after drooling over all the figures & Asterix books, I noticed a book that was a collection of essays on the Simposons & how they apply to real life. It was hilarious. Sadly, I don't remember the name (ah, alcohol...), but I do remember the "subname"--"The Tao Of Homer."

I never liked the Simpsons... maybe it's an acquired taste. In any case, I wouldn't call it the best show ever... that honor goes to Trek, imho.

Slight subject change, perhaps stranger than the Tao of Homer, was a little volume I came across the other day entitled 'The Tao of Pooh' ..and yes I do mean the Winnie variety....

For me, Trek started when I was 15, so I never had the childlike passion that I had for Star Wars during the toy years. The show I've been most entertained by is technically MacGyver. I despise it now, but when I was 9-12 it was awesome.
