I'm guessing that Sideshow Bob is your favourite Simpsons character, Richard...

I can say that Homer is my favourite, can't I?

Or does it have to be someone who doesn't live at 742 Evergreen Terrace? In which case, Grampa would be my favourite, with Hans Moleman second, Ned Flanders third, and Jasper fourth.

Has to be Mr. Burn's for me. He used to be a great villian.

Homer in the early seasons. What a lovable oaf he was.

Has to be Snake.

Vote Quimby.

Homer until they turned him into a psychopath. Hank Scorpio as fave one episode character, Sideshow Bob as recurring.

+1 for Homer.

Homer from the old season was a loveable oaf: clumsy, foolish, occasionally thoughtless yes, but essentially a good man with a big heart & loved his family very much.

Homer from the latter seasons is .. well, as krudler put it, a psychopath pure and simple. I hate that version & can't understand what the writers are thinking when they script his behaviour; it's awful stuff

Herschel Schmoikel Krustofski, aka Krusty The Klown:

"Today, kids, Krusty is going to tell you all about his expensive new suit... his sexual harassment suit!"

"Sex Cauldron?! I thought they closed that place down!"

"Oh yeah... I slaughtered the Special Olympics"

"Do they still buy human hair at the wig shop?"

"Oh yeah, well I got news for ya; THIS AIN'T MAKE-UP!"

"Stole... made-up... what's the difference?"

"Upstage me, will ya?! Get the hell out!"

and just that little annoyed sigh/groan he makes, or the nervous laugh. A classic character.

How have they turned Homer into a psychopath (I've not been watching recent series)?

For me, it's always been Maggie.

He's just not a lovable oaf anymore; he's much more mean-spirited, a lot less empathetic and is just plain horrible.

This is in contrast to the well-meaning, loving, caring father who was just a little bit lacking in the grey matter department.

Basically, he went from being someone nice-but-dim, into someone stupid-but-sadistic.

Ironically, they made Homer more into a cartoon caricature over the course of the years; overplaying his idiocy to the point where he frequently comes across as callous & mean-spirited and much, much less empathetic. A primetime cartoon it may be, but old-Homer had a depth & basic decency that just doesn't exist anymore - and I think the writers know this; there's the odd injoke and wink to the audience that they realise they're just playing up to the mistaken stereotype of Homer Simpson the Idiot.

The rest of the cast suffer from the same fate, but Homer gets the worst of the transformations. Put it this way: to me, Peter Griffin is more well-rounded and likeable than new-Homer, and it's kinda hard to see how Marge would stay with new-Homer really.

For me it would have to be Maggie Simpson.

How many other one year old's can shoot Mr. Burns, shoot all the mafia heads, rescue her overweight father from drowning, catch a hockey puck with one hand and stage a resiliance against her childcare teacher in order to recover her soother. Brilliant.

"The year was 1968. We were on recon in a steaming Mekong delta. An overheated private removed his flack jacket, revealing a T-shirt with an ironed-on sporting the MAD slogan "Up with Mini-skirts!". Well, we all had a good laugh, even though I didn't quite understand it. But our momentary lapse of concentration allowed "Charlie" to get the drop on us. I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the spices right!"

When Skinner gets it right there are few better

Anyone remember when he'd tip his chair back into the shadows and have flashbacks?:pac:

I always enjoyed Skinner's tales of 'nam. It gave his character a dark dimension as does/did his highly dysfunctional relationship with his adoptive mother. I miss the references to the inflatable bath pillow they both profess to enjoy and argue over.

(From Home Sweet Home diddly-dum-doodily)

Marge and Homer are attending a parenting class to regain custody of their children. Also attending is Agnes Skinner.
