The Simpsons.
One of my favourite episodes of The Simpsons was on today. The Simpsons: Behind the Laughter, which is done as a shocking documentary about the “real” Simpsons behind the T.V. show. It is narrated in a suitably over-dramatic and mixed-metaphored way:
“…the dream was over.
Coming up, was the dream really over?
Yes it was.
Or was it?”“Would Willie’s fence-mending eggs bear fruit? Or would his olive branch be torn apart by woodpeckers of mistrust? That night, fate wore a cummerbund… of suspense.”
Mind you, I actually formed a barbershop quartet on the basis of a Simpsons episode, so perhaps I’m obsessed.

My son James is obsessed by The Simpsons. He has every DVD boxed set currently available,various themed mugs, clocks, bedding, blah, blah, blah. In deed so obsessed is he that he can recite episode scripts virtually word for word.
I put it down to his OCD from the Asperger’s Syndrome. What’s your excuse?

My excuse is that it’s hilarious. Does that count?
I don’t actually own the DVD’s, so perhaps I’m not a true fan.
By the by, my brother is autistic, with some obsessive compulsive behaviour which can be frustrating at times, so I understand if you’re sick of The Simpsons!
