The Simpsons is one of the best shows on television.
Millions of people watch it every Sunday. Tens of thousands more watch each re-run.
The demographic of people that watch The Simpsons spans all age, race, and gender groups.
By being shown on the Simpsons, FIRST would immediately expose TONS of potential sposors, engineers, and students to what it is.
If a "positive show" is shown on a "negative network" does that detract from the show?
What networks are up to par?
I mean... almost everyone loves The Simpsons. It's obvious why FIRST would jump at such an opportunity. It's also clear that FIRST will provide an entertaining (semi-educational) program that FOX can air.
Personally, I can't wait to see this show. Imagine, the Shelbyville vs Springfield, the FIRST showdown of the century!
