, 17:06, May 26, 2011→The Simpsons?
This may be a long shot but could the Simpsons fit under the Debatable category? Although it does occasionally send liberal messages, it embraces very conservative family values. I'm just not sure whether or not its liberal messages exclude it entirely from being included here. --[[User:JimMac|JimMac]] 09:31, 26 May 2011 (EDT)

: Personally, I don't any value -- conservative or otherwise -- in the ''Simpsons''. I think it presents [[Hollywood]]'s negative caricature of the family, as several other sitcoms have. But I welcome comments by others about this show, and thanks for the suggestion.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 10:23, 26 May 2011 (EDT)

::I would agree - showing a dysfunctional family is hardly conservative. It would be like saying the abysmal "Married with children" is conservative. [[User:TracyS|TracyS]] 11:21, 26 May 2011 (EDT)

:::I think it definitely has conservative elements. The Simpson family sticks together through thick and thin and always supports each other in the end. I point to an episode where son Bart is caught shoplifting; mother Marge is understandably distraught at his behavior, but by the end of the episode Bart learns his lesson and Marge forgives him. Conservative values. [[User:KeithLowe|KeithLowe]] 13:06, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
