  I remember a specific Saturday a few years ago, I was around 16 or 17. I was watching cartoons with my sisters and my Dad walks in and sits down. We were watching Bugs Bunny. My dad starts talking with the characters, and saying everything that was going to happen. Everything to the last detail he knew. I was shocked, "how do you know what's going to happen??? " my dad replied "I used to watch this when I was a kid". Ok that's fine, I watched bugs bunny when I was little, and I still do. But I couldn't' repeat the dialogue or say whether it was an anvil or a piano that was dropped. Or any other cartoons I watched when I was little, I can't even remember the titles. So why could my Dad after 30 years remember? Thinking about this I realized that their are cartoons that I can talk with the characters and say what's going to happen next.
And I think we all know what it is. The Simpsons. Are the Simpsons the bugs bunny of our generation? I have watched A LOT of Simpsons episodes. It was the only show I watched faithfully, and still is to some degree. (recently my 6:00 spot has been replaced with spongebob) I know all the punch lines, and still laugh at them. One that comes to mind... Homer pretending to be Mr. Burns: "Hello, My name is Mr Burns, I believe you have a letter for me. " Post office worker: "Ok Mr Burns, What's your first name? " Homer replies: "I don't know..." It kills me, their are so many priceless Simpson quotes. Sponge Bob Square Pants is the newest show, I don't know if it will have the lasting power that the Simpsons has, but it is still funny.
A scene that comes to mind. Spongebob intimidating Squidward: "Everyone's and idiot but me. " Funny how both of my examples involve impersonation. I wonder what that means... Anyway, this isn't going anywhere anymore. Cartoons are great. Do you have a favorite Simpsons quote? one more Spongebob. Patrick and Spongebob find a baby scallop. Spongebob: "Oh look Patrick its a baby scallop, it can't even fly yet" Patrick: " Why can't it fly? Is it stupid? " Spongebob: "No Patrick, its not stupid, its a baby.
