    All due respect to Mr Groening, "clever, complicated, sophisticated
    and wild" are NOT what made the Simpsons great. What made them great
    was


    the blatant nudity (even Lisa went nearly naked when they wore nothing but ties while on Tracy Ullman), the "who-gives-a-shit" attitude present in both writing & animation, the fact that it looked like the whole family and
    almost the entire town were suffering from a mutated viral form of jaundice and the fact that Homer had a larger arrest record than Nick Nolte.
