Anyway, go buy a copy -- apparently it makes Matt Groening look like a complete putz, which on the Controversy Index is just a notch below this. Fox doesn't come off that well, either, although that's slightly less of a shocker.

Simpsons book hits shelves; Fox gets egg on its face (again)
Former Vanity Fair staffer John Ortved has written an unauthorized, iconoclastic, and -- if his recent article in The Daily Beast is any indication -- up-chuckingly funny history of the best TV show ever created. No, you don't get to ask what the best TV show ever created is. You see, being a hardcore Simpsons fan is like being a 'Nam vet -- if you weren't there you wouldn't get it, and if you were there you don't need to talk about it. (Except maybe to reminisce about the scene where Bart breaks a chair over Homer's back while he's in the tub. *Tear.*)

i like the 'nam analogy, and have fond childhood memories of hurried room cleanings & teethbrushing, racing into my pjs in time to watch the simpsons every thursday, but i have to say i also my friend ben put it best when he said that the last ten years of The Simpsons have basically just been a subpar sequel to the first ten years. poop.
