This was the era when the show Roseanne was going full-blast, and I loved it because we finally had a working-class comedy where the characters dealt with real-life problems (not being able to pay bills), werent the butt of the shows jokes (instead, they made the jokes), and didnt fit known stereotypes (one daughter, Darlene, was a comic book geek).
On The Simpsons, however, the characters are nothing but stereotype. Theyre practically Pyncheonesque in their emptiness not people, but objects who get driven through various pastiches in order to become the butt of the audiences arch, ironic jokes. I didnt give a shit about any of them. The only way I could enjoy these characters was to say, Haha look at the funny dumb poor people who are so incredibly stupid that they actually work at nuclear power plants.

I reprint because I haven't found the Simpsons funny for a decade but I've never been able to pinpoint why -- and his analysis is as good a reason as any not to like the Simpsons.
