I’ve been watching it ...Big Simpsons fan here too. I’ve been watching it since it debuted on the Tracey Ullman show back in 1987. Previous to that I was also a fan of Matt’s edgy cartoon strip<I>Life in Hell</I>.<BR/><BR/>I agree the earlier seasons were much better (and much less formulaic). Perhaps also because I’m more of Matt’s generation that I get most of the cultural references on the earlier shows that he was more actively involved in.<BR/><BR/>I’ve seen the show a few times in Spanish, but it just seemed so unnatural to me, having heard the same voices for so many years in English. I think that some of the subtleties are surely lost in dubbing (which I abhor).<BR/><BR/>I’ve been surprised how popular the series is outside North America, since most of the humor is based around Americana. I have a few books that explain each episode and delve into the minute details that are often missed – these details of course have subsequently appears on the many web sites devoted to the series.<BR/><BR/>I’ve often wondered how the various dubbed soundtracks deal with guest appearances (such as Paul and Linda McCartney), or when there are guest voices of well-known actors (but who would only be recognizable to English speakers).<BR/><BR/>Pablo – have you ever watched the show in English? I don’t watch much TV in BsAs so I don’t know whether it’s possible. In the US you can just flip the TV over to SAP (Second Audio Program) to hear the Spanish version. I don’t know whether that’s available as part of the Argentine TV standard.<BR/><BR/>Pablo you could just rent a bootlegged copy of the movie form your local video store, or download it off the net … for free. Also, do you like Southpark?<BR/><BR/>JohnSFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846379168854781828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132273.post-20125053047659293462007-08-04T12:00:00.000-03:002007-08-04T12:00:00.000-03:00It's "Chief Justice of the Supreme Court". I wish ...It's "Chief Justice of the Supreme Court". I wish the Simpsons film was as well-received as Itchy and Scratchy...The simpsons stopped being funny about 5 or 6 years ago when the writers decided Homer should be be used purely for puerile, 3 Stooges comedy instead of being a well-rounded example of a normal, modern human being but with all the usual foibles and problems magnified beyond normality. I didn't know Matt Groening had left the show, i guess it was around that time that it took a different path. Cool photos of Rosario btw. I never made the short trip up from BA. Wish i had.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09900725715325926065noreply@blogger.com
