I cant belive theres no Simpsons page
I love The Simpsons! Do you have a favourite character and/or episode, Alison?
Oh god! I am obsessed with The Simpsons. I sometimes watch it 3 times a day, (no matter how many times i have seen the episode). I would have to say that Homer is my fav., but i love Lisa, and Apu......
Finally, a board to pay hommage... okay, that was over the top. I guess that Homer is my favorite, my step-father is exactly like him! I swear... he even goes "D'oh!" :) I also think that Ned Flanders is hilarious...
I think Homer is my favourite too. "The whole reason we have elected officials is so we don't HAVE to think all the time."
Lisa Simpson is the perfect woman. I am in love with Lisa Simpson. She's smart, she's sensitive, she stands up for the rights of people who are oppressed, and she's got that great spiked hair. If Lisa were real, and could grow up, I would ask her out on a date in a heartbeat. Ooh, she looks so sexy playing that sax, too!

Oops, pardon the repeated message.
teresa dee...you are sooooo correct. I love Lisa. Jeez......I did lose a bit on her today...I was unhappy. I just saw the Religious Cult episode...and Lisa held longer than Bart...but she gave in!!! I figured Lisa wouldn't give up her mind even for good grades...but she did!!! arg!!!
Wow, Unt, I assumed that when I posted that message, people would say, "Errh?" just like all my friends do. Yes, I was shocked as well when she gave into the religious cult. I guess every once in a while, Marge has to look like the practical one.
Okay, educate the ignorant one... what are woman-identified tendencies? Are you saying Lisa's a lesbian? Heh-heh-heh. It would be really funny if the Southern Baptists had to boycott Disney *and* Fox.
I don't know if Lisa is a lesbian, but I certainly HOPE she is. Of course, she's a bit young for me. I can only claim that she's a bold and articulate feminist. My gaydar goes off when I see her on TV, but my gaydar tends to be over-active anyway. What do you think, Shannon?
Hmmm.... I don't think bisexuals are allowed to have gaydar... at least I don't have it. I fell in love with two gay guys in high school, neither one of which would "convert" for me. LOL Hmmm... Lisa's, what, in second grade? If she is a lesbian, she probably isn't ready to come out. Might be hoping she'lll "outgrow " it. But, yeah, Lisa is a great example of a feminist. It's too bad there aren't more charecters like her on TV, from what I've seen.
Teresa, I am thinking of reasons why gaydars sometimes do not work well on television shows.
When is Ready or Not on TV? I would love to see it. After I watch it, I would love to tell you what I think.
yeah...i don't really think Lisa would know she's gay yet (although I have 2 friends who actually *did* know when they were her age....)...and she's still got that annoying obsession with Corey....they also once perviewed her wedding day...but who's to say what the real future holds (Maybe she actually *will* get out of 2nd grade!!). But she is *definately* a strong role model.......she is totally my fave tv character...love Ellen...but alas!!!
Nothing. You said it all, sistahhhh.
Why did all of u leave out cute , adorable, always getting into trouble Bart??
Santa's Little Helper.
I commend Laurel for mad-skills on recalling names.
I like MR Burns. And that bully guy who always goes HA-ha. And Crusty the clown. Very funny cute show.
Nelson is the bully guy that goes ha-ha. I like him too.
I know that Lisa isn't too real as compared to Bart...really, how many 2nd graders are as exceptional as Lisa? Its just wonderful to think she is....
I like Smithers. I think I'm the only one.

I wish that she didn't get married in that future sketch in an older episode too.....

Do you remember the Thanksgiving episode when she made the diorama of important women in American history? I think it included Susan B. Anthony and Virginia Woolf. That's the episode that first tipped me off that she might have woman-identified (God, I love that expression. It's so camp.) tendencies.
I also loved the episode when she met those kids on the beach and taught them about crustaceans. For the first time in her life, she had friends. I think that episode brought tears to my eyes. :)

I think that authors sometimes make fictional character based on known personalities or combinations of personalities... the author may create a lesbian without even knowing it is a lesbian... and it is silly when you try to find out.
My friends and I often try our gaydars on fictional characters...
I had thought of Lisa Simpson as a definite role model for me, but I never thought of trying my Gaydar on her. Yet, I am, and when I was young I was pretty much like her. What I do KNOW is that Lisa is one of those Different people, like I am.
Have you ever seen the show 3Ready or Not3 I am not sure if Amanda is one of us, but I am sure that Elizabeth IS. I think Amanda is one but have not come out to herself.... Now... WHAT DO YOU THINK?
And, BTW, I do HAVE FUN trying my gaydar on television characters...

I think we're all looking for role models/someone we can identify with whenever we watch TV. That's why tons of lesbians watch Xena Warrior Princess and Ellen, and tons of my straight girlfriends watch Ally McBeal. It always seems like we're looking for a reflection, or a little bit of ourselves in things we watch. I rack my brain trying to understand why. Maybe it's because we get bored with other peoples' "issues," and we like to see things worked out in 1/2-1 hour for people that are a lot like us. Ahh, the instant gratification of television.
My mother sees Lisa Simpson as a role model, simply because she's an articulate chick who is able to back up her beliefs. I sometimes have to remind myself that she is scripted.

In my humble opinion, Bart is more real than Lisa.She's a bit too Perfect and Smart for her age! :)
I can most relate to Bart who is so mischevious,haha and so he's my fav character.
2nd most fav character is...the Dog, can anyone remember the name??
Bestwishes,

I'm intrigued that the lesbian/bisexuals find Lisa Simpson sexy. I never really thought about her any other way than cute, course I've only "liked" one girl which was once-upon-a-time, so I don't consider myself completely bisexual either.
You know what made me angry, was when Marge became a cop, and then quit again to be a house-mom. I think that's sad because what she really seemed to want to do was be a police officer, although maybe that was just the way I wanted to interpret it.
I always wonder what Maggie's going to turn out like. She's so funny; I love that kid!
