The former wife of Elvis Presley says "The Simpsons" is bad for kids.
"It's not good for people's moral compass," she says. "It's OK for
adults as we can put it all together but it's not good for kids and I
think we need to bring back something more family orientated like
'Leave It To Beaver' that I used to watch when I was growing up."

Priscilla mentioning Leave it to Beaver made me have to post this:

NO! Its NOT OK for adults... its crap, its always been crap.. and if
there is one thing I hold against Tracy Ullman its letting this loose on
the world. Otherwise Ullman is a really funny lady.. just unleashed the
biggest piece of crap in TV history.

I would agree that better shows need to be produced and aired but that
doesn't mean I want a LitB reboot! Good programming, like oh say Homeland
(NAILED IT! and even killed dextcraper! HOOOHYAAAY!)... I don't really
care if there is any programming for rug rats... if needed they dig out
the original Saturday Scooby-Doo and rerun it for the carpet lizards..
Along wtih the Jetsons, Josie and the Pussycats, Speed Buggy... etc...
hell even the first go around on Heathcliff as a cartoon is better!

Presley seems to think that since "The Simpsons" is animated, it's
a kids' show. It's a show for adults and I can't think of any reason why
kids should be allowed to see it.

All a good reason to be thankful that Presley has only a right to
her opinion, but no power at all.

Celebrities have more influence than you think, and can lead to change.
Maybe she won't but if others join on...

She has had an acting career, post-Elvis. I can't remember what, but I
thought on one of the night time soap operas, at least. Maybe some of
those parody films too.

"Leave it toBeaver" and "Bugs BUnny" are both far better though she
did have a balanced opinion since, she Prisclla, I can as an ADULT
handle it (The simpsons ride is my go-to ride at Universal Studios
Hollywood). Music Rights issues may have also stopped Leave it to
Beaver (same as everything from that era: the Capitol/KPM libraries
and the b lack and white status of the shows would have kept it
off...reading her fully letter I see a fair argument, and myself and
her can enjoy it for ADULTS, and that IS what at least one replier
said.)

It is = It's not Its

If you don't like it, don't watch it.
Return to your quality programs like American Idol and Maury Povich.

I am surprised that she thinks The Simpsons is uncool, unless she
doesn't know who Nancy Cartwright is.
