-100/10. I honestly agree with late President George H. W. Bush who was highly critical of this "show." It's been an annoying mess that's gone on ever since I was four years old in 1989. What else can they say that they haven't already said by now? How many more seasons do they need? Matt Groening and FOX need to pull the plug.
What can be said about this show that hasn't already been said? While it's not as good as it was in its golden years, the show has an undeniable legacy and influence and stands among the greatest shows of all time.

Trivia: The Simpsons holds the record for most guest stars; it is also the only non-variety show to have had appearances from three former Beatles (Paul, George and Ringo).
Tree House of Horror V - S6-E6
Question: Homer travels back in time and causes changes by what he does in the past, like stepping on a bug. I once saw a movie with the same basic plot: some people travel back in time and are told to be careful not to disturb anything, but when they return to their time everything has changed. In the end they discover it was because they stepped on a butterfly. Does anyone know the name of this movie?

Answer: I'm not sure if this is the one you're thinking of, but an episode of "Ray Bradbury Theatre," called "A Sound of Thunder," dealt with a similar matter: a group of hunters travel back in time to hunt dinosaurs, only to find things have changed when they get back because someone stepped on a butterfly.
