We have The Simpsons, South Park, and Family Guy on regularly here. I find them funny when I sit down to watch them, but don't care for them equally all of the time (South Park doesn't take much to really gross people out, but I figure that's part of the point of it). My 14-year-old watches them religiously. What I find interesting is that with all of the reading we have done together and good films we've made a point of watching, he regularly comes in to tell me about some funny thing they did and refers to the episode by the literary theme or references it contains. All of the programs do this.
