* The show has itself been the target of a real-life Take That: [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeHWBush George Bush Sr.]] once held a speech with the phrase "We're going to strengthen the American family to make them more like ''Series/TheWaltons'' and less like ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''." This was a bad, bad move on the part of the presidential speechwriters, because the show retaliated by having the January 30, 1992 reairing of the Season 3 episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E1StarkRavingDad Stark Raving Dad]]" open with a reworked scene from "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E2SimpsonAndDelilah Simpson and Delilah]]" where Bart sees the speech and remarks "Hey, we're just like the Waltons. We're praying for an end to [[TheGreatDepression the Depression]] too." The moral of the story is that you probably shouldn't pick on people who make a living out of comedy, and especially those who do comedy in the veins of social and political commentary.
