The Simpsons

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.
