The Simpsons have been on long enough now to cover the time

from the beginning of the Korean War to the election of Raygun.

1. They aren't as good as they used to be though.

2. I still love them.

You know, when they do Grandpa Simpson war stories, they've moved them up in time. Grandpa has apparently served in WWI, WWII and Vietnam. Not sure about Korea, though.

This past Sunday episode showed Marge involved in a Lumberjill competition. Homer begins to suspect something about the woman that Marge is training with--that she's gay--and one of the clues that he notices is a banner from Bryn Mawr College. That is where I went, and I thought the reference was hilarious.

My favorite episodes are about Lisa, my heart always goes out to Lisa Simpson. She's young, smart, gifted and oh so earnest in all her interests and concerns.
