The Simpsons Season Finale
It aired on Sunday (er ...23rd May). Full of the satire that makes this show one of my favorites. Classic lines include:
(Teen comitting suicide): Why did they cancel 'Futurama?'
(Homer, on the subject of the layman starting their own news-sheet): Instead of one big-shot controlling all the media, now there's a thousand freaks Xeroxing their worthless opinions.
The New York Times (free subscription, required) has a good article about the episode. It talks about why the show still remains funny/endearing after 15 seasons. Which is mind-boggling. 15 years, these guys have cranked out like 350-ish episodes. Maybe more, who knows?
