The Simpsons is the longest running tv show. It has been on the sir for over 20 years. How can a tv show survive that long? The Simpsons are a combination of animated cartoons and a family sitcom; this allows the show to keep entertaining people.
The Simpson is a show that contains five main characters; they are the following: Homer, Liza, Bart, Maggie, and Marge. There are a lot more characters in The Simpsons, and in every season there is more characters added. The Simpsons is a show which allows whats going on in the world to be incorporated in the show; this is a main reason why The Simpsons has been running for so many years. If the viewer can relate in some way to the show, it allows the show to be significant in some way.
One thing I love seeing in The Simpsons is the beginning; in the beginning of ever episode there is always a different entrance. I love the entrance where the created Incorporated the iPhone. It was funny to see how Homer put his whole family on the couch by using the iPhone.
Another thing about The Simpsons is it is a funny show. It brings a lot of laughter to t.v. Other shows like Family Guy and American Dad don't even come close to The Simpsons. The Simpsons allows for people to take something serious and make it funny. It lets people relax.
Also with The Simpsons being a cartoon and not just a sitcom, the show is able to be flexible. The creator can have the cartoons do certain thing, like making things appear out of the blue. The thing The Simpsons doesn't do is kill characters and bring them back, like South Park.
The Simpsons is part of Cartoon Realism. Jason Mittell discuses this in his article. He talks about the critics who critic The Simpsons; this allows Mittell to understand how The Simpsons operate. Since The Simpsons mixes genre and cultural life, anything can happen. The Simpsons have been all over the world.
In the article people says The Simpson is a controversial show, but it is still successful. The Simpsons is a show that has surprised many people. The show allow so much diversity, which allows people to be interest. Another thing The Simpson has is there is no order; this means it does not follow any certain order. The episodes are always different topics.
When I was young, I would love to wake up early in the morning to watch Cartoons. I loved to watch Sailor Moon. Even though it is a anime cartoon, I loved it. It had five characters. The characters had powers, but Sailor Moon was the main character. Unlike The Simpsons, Sailor Moon does follow a story line, but that's one thing I really enjoyed about the show. It was about five girls who are normal, but then get powers. These five girls fight for love and justice against the evil minions. It was a show full of action and love. I am sad it was taken off the air. It didn't survive as long as The Simpsons, but it was an enjoying show.

Scary Movies
When I was about six years old, my brothers made me watch Jurassic Park. My brother told me, that it wasn't scary. My brother's were so WRONG!
The movie Jurassic Park started out nice. I like how they actors were going to explore the Park. It seemed like a family fun movies. I was wrong. While watching Jurassic Park, I never thought that the dinosaurs were going to eat people. Even though I knew dinosaurs didn't exist, it creep me out.
My brothers like to watch movies with the lights out, which made everything so much scarier. I was sitting in the dark and shaking. I was so paranoid. I didn't want anything bad to happen to the kids.
While watching the movie, I saw the dinosaurs weren't very nice, especially the T-Rex. I began to get scared, but my brother told me to suck it up, and the movie wasn't scary. So, I listen to them and kept watching the movie.
All of a sudden, I screamed. I was yelling and screaming. I said, "watch out" and "get out of there." Even though I knew they couldn't hear me, I wanted to help in some way. When the dinosaur was chasing after the children, I started to cry. I kept thinking the kids were going to get eaten. I didn't want it to happen. So, I started to scream, "run kids run, he is right be hind you." I didn't know what to do. It felt like I was in the movie trying to guide them through.
Later on, there was a man who went to use the bathroom. It was a port-a-potty. The man went all relax to the bathroom, when the T-Rex cam and ate him while he was in the bathroom. My brother thought it was funny, I though it was sad ans scary at the same time.
I did enjoy the end. I was happy to see the kids survived. I wasn't happy about what was going to happen to me. That night, I went to bed. I shut of the lights and laid in my bed. I fell asleep for a few hours, but while I was sleeping nightmares came. In my nightmare, I was in the Jurassic Park. I was walking along, when all of a sudden there is a T-Rex chasing me. I am so scared that I begin to run. I felt trap because there was no place to hide. When the dinosaur came close and was about to eat me, I woke up screaming. For the rest of the week, I couldn't sleep. I would go into my parents room and try to sleep there. Every time I closed my eyes, the T-Rex was waiting to eat me. I wanted to stay alive.
The scene where the man got eaten in the bathroom stayed in my head. During the night time, I couldn't go to the bathroom. I was so scared to go because I thought the T-Rex was there waiting for me. I though the bathroom at night was a unsafe place. So, I would stay in bed really uncomfortable because of my fear of dinosaurs eating me. From this point on, I never watched another scary movie again, even though Jurassic Park wasn't a horror film; it still scared me.
Clover makes some good points on what a slasher movies has to have in it in order to make it a slasher movie. Clover believed that teen go to these movies because it is a safe place; this meaning teens never have to go through being chased down by a killer. The teens can just focus on watching the film and being entertained. Sometime people, in general, want an escape. People want to escape into another reality where they can get scared. They enjoy it. I on the other hand HATE horror movies. The killer is the person who scared me the most, and especially the way he or she kills them. It is so gross.
While My Guitar Gently Beeps
In the article, "While My Guitar Gently Beeps," the author wrote about the Beatles and the game rock bank.
The author believes the game will put the Beatles back in the forefront of the evolution of music, but I don't agree. The Beatles were a great band, but putting them into a video game only really leads in their fans buying the game.
Children know a days, rather play games and music of now, not back them. I mean no on could ever replace the Beatles, but their music is old. I understand it was inspiring and a break through in the music industry, but now music is different. We have evolved so much from the 1960's. Music has changed so much. I mean with the launch of the Beatles games, it brought back their music, which probably was forgotten. Bringing out the game will allow people to not just purchase the game, but their Cd's, or songs on itunes. It allows a lot of other doors to be open; this means the game doesn't just make a profit, but everything else.
Yeah, the Beatles will always be popular, but not for many kids who play the game rock band. There are a lot of teens and adults who play rock band, but many others are more familiar with music today. Music is different. There are many genres. Kids prefer to play the more popular music the the oldies. People believe that bring the Beatles, would bring them back, but it is all to make money.
I really don't have a clue in what direction popular music will take. Since the music industry is always changing, music is also always changing. One minute rock can be popular, while in the next it could be pop. Children are always going to like what's "IN" style. I think the music is going to be more up beat and maybe with more meaning.
The rock band game seems to be a lot fun. My friends loving playing it; they have so much fun. I ask my friends, if they would be interested in playing the Beatles rock band? My friends answer me by saying, " We really like playing rock band, but we are really not into the Beatles." I think the game probably made a lot of money, but it is not the forefront in making the Beatles all popular again.

Pandora
Pandora, will it take over the radio? Who Knows?
Pandora seems to be the new radio station. It allows you to make your own stations by choosing the music you like best. Why go back to the radio, when Pandora can give you your taste of music? There will be no need to click around to find the station with the music you like.
Pandora allows you to write in either an artist, song, or composer, and Pandora will find you that artist mix with other music with the same genre. Pandora is allowing people to make a choice, and create their own station.
Pandora is mostly located on an iPod. It is a free application. With Pandora being on the iPod, it allows people to listen to the music they prefer. It gives them a choice. An example is, when your listening to your iPod and you wanted to listen to a certain type of music, and you don't have it, you can go on Pandora and create a station. It makes life so much simpler.
Also, Pandora's process at retrieving the music works great. Pandora allows you to search for what you are looking for; then it will search and find the certain type of music, artist, or genre. Next, the listener can go through the list and pick the music they like best. There is a thumbs up and thumbs down located next to every picture; the listener can choose thumbs up if they like the song, and if the listener does like the song, then it will become part of the playlist. If the listener doesn't like the song, the listener would pick thumbs down, and Pandora would skip the song. If the listener keep choosing thumbs up or down, Pandora will begin to understand what music you like. Pandora is a great help in finding music.
The only flaw Pandora has is how you can only skip five songs, and after you have to listen to a whole song, even if you don't like it, so you can look at more choices. If Pandora would take that restriction out, Pandora would be perfect.
Pandora has change the definition of "audience." The definition of "audience" has change because anyone can listen to Pandora. It doesn't matter what type of music your into, Pandora will have it. Pandora allows the search to be so much easier. The audience becomes a variety, since you are able to make a choice.
Pandora is successful, but it can become a profit-making medium, if it turns into a program who has advertisements; this means that when you skip five song or after every three songs, before you can move on, you will have to listen to an advertisement. This doesn't sound like fun, but all the money making business is in advertisement. People, in general, are always trying to sell, sell, and sell some more. If Pandora becomes extremely popular, then advisers would love to invest.
In my belief, the radio is dying. The radio is being taken over by applications like Pandora. Let's face the truth, people love when they are able to make their own choice, then people making it for them. So good-bye radio, hello Pandora!
