I guess what people like Bush didn't like about it was that Homer was seen as stupid (and traditionally the father figure on shows was wise and could give good advice to his children) and that Bart was a troublemaker.
- chrisseaton 7y agoFather figures have been buffoons and families have been chaotic on TV for decades - the Flintstones back in the 60s for example.

It was a show for adults. Just because the show was probably clean enough to air on tv doesn't mean kids should be watching it. On top of that all the characters are mildly annoying when their catch phrases are repeated ad nauseam by little kids.
