The Simpsons + Douglas Coupland

Even a more quality sitcom like 30 Rock can’t always get it’s jokes right - there have been plenty of cringe worthy moments - considering the jokes per minute factor - it’s bound to happen I guess. But if ’30 Rock’ featured only Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin for half an hour each week - I’d still tune in - yet I don’t have cable - so I turn to Hulu - every few weeks or so... and catchup. And when humans' wisecracking, and silly banter leaves one exhausted - I turn to The Simpsons - always capable of cheering me up - I think most sane people must be hard-wired to always enjoy The Simpsons - we must literally be incapable of not .

(Psychology of Popular Culture series)
