The Simpsons enters its 16th season this Sunday, which goes to show us that the FOX executive team isn’t just a bunch of complete retards in suits. According to the Baltimore Jewish Times, “About half “The Simpsons” writing staff is Jewish…Three of the performers ? Harry Shearer, Julie Kavner and Hank Azaria ? are Jewish as well. Since each performer voices a number of animated characters, many of the show’s regulars have Jewish voices ? including, ironically, Ned Flanders, the Simpsons’ clueless, devoutly Christian neighbor.”
This dysfunctional cartoon family has seen us through so many of life’s passages; how comforting that Maggie still has a binky after all these years. Wonder if we’ll ever see Bart go through puberty? Oops, that’d be cable material.
Yo, Yenta!
From the edge of the Diaspora rises a new generation of Jewish mother
I saw the cast on the Actors Studio on Bravo and I swear that was the best episode I ever saw of that show in my life! Hearing the cast become those characters and interact with each other was incredible. After 16 seasons of voicing the characters, the cast really has all of their personality traits and gestures down to a T. Too bad FOX is a nut-job, wacko network. If it wasnt for the simpsons FOX would have gotten bombed by now.
How many jews besides Krusty and HIs dad are on the Simpsons?
