(Shorts with only three acts usually begin after the commercial; there's at least one short with its last act after the second commercial, just before Tracey's closing monologue.)

Sure, we loved that on the old school Nintendo because it was the Simpsons, it was "wrong" to watch such a "nasty" show where the main character said "Eat my shorts" and we were eleven years old.
Simpsons: Hit & Run not only faithfully reproduces the show's humor and feel, but is extremely addicting.
Fast forward to 2003, the Simpsons is still among the funniest shows on television and the extreme right wing now views the Simpsons as a family show rather than satanic.

Without their efforts, there would be no Cartoon Network, no Nicktoons, and probably no Simpsons or King of the Hill.
True, they spread themselves too thin at times, and the animation quality was often lacking, but on the whole no one can deny the huge impact that Joe and Bill made to keep animation a valuable commodity in the post-theatrical days.
