[The TV show], The Simpsons, is hilarious.***
*Adverbs of indefinite time intervals / duration such as “frequently” may be placed in the middle of a sentence or at the end. To my "ears," I feel it works much better in the middle. Others may disagree.
**Generally speaking, do not use the word “so” by itself as an intensifier in formal writing. It's usually better to use a stronger adjective to describe something than to throw a " so" or a "very" in front of a weak adjective. That said, even using "very" works better (again,to my ears) here; Talking a nap is very healthy.
**The word “is” in this instance is referring to a single item, a TV show, regardless of its title. As written, however, the “Simpsons” is plural and should use “are” instead if, for example, we were talking about a real family [The Simpsons are enjoying their stay in Hawaii, The Obamas are vacationing in Canada, etc.] Context is important in English. I only mention this in an abundance of caution in case anyone reading this sentence is not familiar with that show. D’oh!
