My mom didn't really let me watch the simpsons until I was 12 years old. This of course didn't stop me from watching it, but it brings up a good point. Is the Simpsons innapropriate for young children?
By young children I mean ages 0-7. I think that it is OK for them to watch. It does have the occasional swear word, and the occasional sexual innuendo (I love that word, innuendo), but I think most of that flies right over the young'ns heads. A lot of it is rather subtle in my opinion (subtle enough for 7 year olds).
For instance, in the episode where they go to duffgardens, Patty (or Selma) goes to buy some sperm from a sperm bank. Never once is the word "sperm" uttered, except that it is shown on a sign quickly before they show the inside of the building. The cup that Barney uses doesn't even have any sperm or liquid of any sort in it. As opposed to south park where Cartman buys 5 gallons of sperm and takes some out of the vials and feels it to test if it is "quality sperm", but thats beyond the point.
So, whats everyone elses opinion?
