Re: The Simpsons on Alcatraz
From: Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>
Last night I turned on the Simpsons for the first time in months--ten
minutes into the show. The family were guests on a Fox-TV type show with
the host browbeating them for not loving America enough. When Marge and
Lisa tell him something to the effect that if loving America means
mindless flag-waving, then they don't love it.
I was stunned by this episode -- easily the most political Simpsons in
years. I'm not sure the voice actors deserve a tripling of their pay
(they're reportedly asking for $8 million per season, triple what they made
before), but I hope the show sticks around if they can sustain the level of
this latest episode.
