Ayn Rand on the Simpsons
I just watched the Simpsons in which they give treatment to Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead.
Of course, there is a humorous take on the story where Maggie is "Maggie Roark" and she attends "Mediocri-Tots" where Toohey tries to crush her creative spirit. She stands up to him and maintains her independence.
All in all, apart from Lisa's dig against Rand as the source of material for right-wingers, it's a pretty positive take.
