South Park! If you get Netflix on your computer they have every season available. If you want to "sweep" a woman off her feet? Watch a movie called the "Notebook"......:eek:

Weird that you choose to learn grammar through ANY of those shows.. I never liked the simpsons, Futurama is just... stupid, Family Guy is good but South Park is probably the most "grammatically correct and advanced"... Although you might want to choose just about any show that isn't a cartoon lol

you think i didn't watch ALL of the real TV shows/sitcoms before adressing cartoons :p
what are you suggesting F.RIEN.DS or seinfield or fraiser ?? already done that..
new shows are all centered around chicks,
these are not only cartoons these are long running cartoons meaning that they have a diversity challenge to win if they want to subside as a TV show..
and that they have plenty time to address all kinds of subjects (more vocabulary) especially since they can't play the sexy actress card..
i have a feeling that southpark is the key to grasp better all the variety and subtleties of craziness of the members in this forum..

Futurama is the best out of all of them, as it didn't get really preachy or awful, but to learn a language I would go with South Park.

Family Guy got out all it's good jokes in the first few seasons but has the best "lol" and Americana quality to it.

The Simpsons I watched when I was young and has funny characters but the jokes are pretty old and used up. I would consider it "original"

Futurama is like Simpsons in the future with wacky characters and more intellectual jokes based less on stereotypical "life in the burbs".

South Park is the one I would recommend. It has gotten better and better every season and they(Trey Parker and Matt Stone) are genius in their ability to trigger that instinctual response to laugh.
