My opinion
In my opinion, the simpsons is the best thing on TV at the moment and has been for the last couple years. I have seen nearly all the episodes and even if I had seen one five times, I would still find it funny. Not many programs can do that can they?
All age groups find it funny and enjoy watching it aswell, when I watch, my mom and dad watch it aswell and they, my dad especially, has really bad taste in programs.
When Matt Groening created all the characters, all the ingridients were there for a great show but no one could have predicted how fantastic it is. Another thing that is interesting is that over the many years of talking about it to friends, I have never come accross someone who dislikes the program.
Funny elements that make the program what it is
The characters are fantastic, I mean how funny is Homer when he cries over spilt beer or Mr Burns giving someone a verbal rocket. There is a character in this program that anyone can relate to, ANYONE.
The storylines, there are two that stick in my mind especially and always will, the one where Homer has to gain weight so he can become disabled and the one where George Bush moves in accross the road. The George Bush episode is probably the best episode ever!
Other little extras make the program what it is, things like when they mimic something out of a film ie. When Homer be friends Flanders and Ned tries to drive off and Homer clutches on to the back of the car like the T1000 in terminator 2. That scene was fantastic.
I would just like to add that my favourite characters (apart from the obvious homer and bart) are:-
Mojo the monkey - only features once but he was outstanding, especially his "happy dance" :D
Comic Book Guy - The ruler of sarcasm, his one liners crack me up every time
Mr Burns - His thriftiness and his dislike for fellow people with funny results make him a good character
George Bush - not him personally but he was involved in the epic battle against Homer
There are just a few of my favourites, the list could go on for ages though :).
Concluding this little essay on why the simpsons is so great, I would just like to say, The Simpsons is great!

Good post AK. It's very hard to call best episode though.
I like the one where Patty or Selma marries Troy McClure, because I think that the idea of a Planet of the Apes musical is hilarious.
How about the one where Homer findsout he has a long lost brother?
Or the one where Homer 'kidnaps' Mr Burns son?
Favourite characters include Ralph Wiggum and Lionel Hutz

The Simpsons is probably my favourite TV programme too, although I will admit the quality of the show has gone down lately since the person who voiced Maude Flanders and some of the other characters was killed! However that aside its still oe of the best shows on TV, Im not sure what makes it so special, but I imagine it has alot to do with just how down to earth the show is.
Its rare that you get an American show that openly makes fun of American life! I like that, plus its also suitable for children and adults to watch. Homers stupidity usually means lots of visual gags that children can enjoy, and line like the famous
" Tonight his honour is polling the electorate!" gives an adult dimension to a great show!
