The times when Springfield's favorite family had some snarky things to say.

The Simpsons Panic On The Streets Of Springfield Morrissey20th Century Fox
Whilst its best years are certainly behind it, The Simpsons rose to be one of the most important television shows for many years due to the combination of great wit and emotional depth. It wasn't just a silly cartoon - it often handled the important subjects of the day.
Typically, The Simpsons writing team has always pretty even-handed with their approach. Whilst they often look at subjects that are the big talking points of the time, especially in the earlier seasons, it usually produces carefully curated episodes. Using the subject to tell a story rather than pick a side, it was the duty of the residents of Springfield to represent the different shades of grey. That being said, sometimes the show feels pretty potently about things and it makes sure we know about it.
Whether it's 20th Century Fox's demands, the criticisms of its detractors or just particularly straight-forward worldwide situations, The Simpsons sometimes makes it clear where it stands. After all, there are times to be impartial and there are also times to say your piece.
