The Simpsons: An Informal Review
When I was a kid I watched The Simpsons every Sunday. It gave me a nostalgic feeling watching different episodes from the same series week after week. It was a tradition. I, like the other 15 million weekly viewers of the show, had fallen in love with The Simpsons. I like the irony and humor that’s put into each episode. Many of the jokes on the show are parodies of other shows, movies, or music icons. Adults can laugh at the stuff that goes over kid’s heads.
Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, and Maggie make up the Simpsons’ clan. They are your average middle class dysfunctional family. Homer is an alcoholic oaf with the mind of a child who always pursues his impulsive aspirations. Meanwhile, his wife Marge is left to clean up after him and install morals in their kids. Bart is a little devil. He likes to do what he wants which often lands him in trouble. Lisa is a little genius who stands up for what she believes in. She has a musical gift and loves to play the saxophone. Maggie has only spoken a few times and is a minor character in the plot. I and many others agree that all of them together make for some hilarious and satirical situations. You never know what is going to pop out of left field in Springfield, which is the family’s hometown. The Simpsons deserves five out of five laughing viewers.
The Simpsons: A Midlevel Review
The Simpsons is a wildly popular television show. Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie make up the famous family. For a cartoon, this yellow family has had a remarkable impact on post-modern society. It is the first of its kind, in that a cartoon is portraying a realistic nuclear American family.
The show was first created as a series of short skits by Matt Groening for The Tracy Ullman Show. Two years later in 1989, The Simpsons became a primetime hit for the FOX Broadcasting Network. Fast forward to 2012 and the show has become a billion
