I love The Simpsons, and am forced by my 16-year-old to watch it endlessly...It is one of the most clever shows on TV...And I was astounded to hear that mid-level writers on the Simpons are paid in the $250000 range!.....I don't know whether it's available over there, but if you can find Homicide anywhere, watch it! Astoundingly good writing, directing and acting - far and away the best drama on American television..... But not for the kiddees.... B.

I have been a fan of this show ever since it started. Now that I live in Belgium, I am fortunate to be able to watch it on one of the Flemish channels with my son so that he can get properly acquainted with the culture of the country where he was born...I do not mean it in any negative way. The Simpsons and real football (i.e. soccer) are the only things I watch on television. Enough provocation from for tonight. I have had one too many single malts...Over and out! Nathan "B. D.
