Cheers for The Simpsons

[capt_buzzard]

The Simpsons has eclipsed classics like Tom & Gerry, to be named the greatest cartoon.
Matt Groening's 16-year creation has topped a poll of 100 best cartoons voted for by British TV viewers.
Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa beat Hanna Barbera's Tom and Gerry to second place.
The characters of the Simpsons are named after Groening's family.

Cheers

TIME magazine apparently called the Simpsons the greatest TV show of the 20th century.
Like (Matt Groening pointed out) there was a better one in the 19th century

I'd like to know, what's so good about this show? Why is it so popular?

I think its because the humour is so near the knuckle.
