Debatable that he played "himself" in this episode: https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Leon_Kompowsky

I think there's nothing wrong with the content of the episode, but knowing that Jackson groomed and abused young boys made it a bit uncomfortable to watch as this guy befriends Bart and they're spending time together in private.
That means it's working!
A real thing someone said to me:
I'm not gonna lie. I woulda let Ghislaine groom me. I'm not immune to her serpent-like seduction.
Truly! I have a lot of respect for the great writing & characters on Seinfeld, but occaisionally a joke hinges on something a bit... problematic. Fortunately if I remember from recent rewatches, those moments don't show up much, instead show suffers simply from being 30 years old. We've changed a lot culturally.
Everyone should watch the episode where Elaine is dating a communist (S6E10 - The Race).
As for the Simpsons, Homer treats Marge like absolute shit a lot of the time and she just takes it, or forgives him waaayyyyyy too easily. Her sister's Patty & Selma are the butt of jokes a lot for not... being attractive I guess? e.g. they don't shave their legs. They're (rightfully) constantly talking shit about Homer.
Yeah, that's the one.
EDIT: Lisa's Substitute is the other one.
Nobody cared who I was till I put on the mask.
I watched the Simpsons for the first time recently and their were a few episodes that didn't sit right, related to this topic.
The early one with Michael Jackson as a guest star (not playing himself), and the one where Lisa is crushing on her teacher at school (they treat it in a mildly sus fashion).
If you look around Facebook or craigslist you may find a deal on used stuff. I got a smallish 5.1 pioneer set and a receiver for ~250.
I'm really glad I upgraded from a sound bar if makes a big difference in movie watching!
You could even piece together a partial system from used speakers. Forgoing the rear speakers and doing a 3.1 setup would still provide much improved clarity and volume while reducing cost.
I didn't see the link and reported this in error. Apologies to the mods.
