Besides, the cartoon is not attached to our particular beloved family: you can find a cornucopia of characters – an entire city, among the inhabitants of which you can find yourself, your friends and fiends, your acquaintances and family members.
No surprise the TV series has such an enormous and loyal audience. The intellectual would cry of joy when Sideshow Bob performs a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. An average one will find Homer`s flight in a spaceship absurd and appreciate the moment. The "Simpsonian" humor appeals to everyone: a buffoon could laugh at a character who slips on a banana peel or performs a well-known old school gag. I recently caught the detail but it impressed me.
Just like the same Family Guy and South Park, the cartoon imposes its obvious cheap moral about the value of the family, friendship, importance of ecology, but it presents it in a colorful wrap of a vivid and lively story.Ībout the humor. Before scrutinizing the Simpsons I used to admire such satires as The Family Guy and South Park that is why their "ancestor`s" first episode literally yelled at my face "YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN IT!" Indeed, The Simpsons were a revolution in the world of comedy, so later works started stealing their plots, clichés, and jokes shamelessly. I returned to the happy-go-lucky inhabitants of Springfield when the rumors about its fortune-telling abilities rose, you know, about Trump, 9.11, etc. Even not well acquainted to the yellow family I felt a great abhorrence of it: the animation was lousy and the characters ugly. Nine stars to nine fantastic seasons.During my childhood The Simpsons seemed something mysterious to me: every time the legendary intro played my parents sent me to bed because it was 21:00 already.
I'm sure you all know where I stand on that debate. Despite this, new fans seem to have come about to replace then, and the show continues to remain at the top of its game, even today. Plots that didn't focus on current issues, or that didn't seem to be as strong as older episodes. The show also began to see more cumbersome and meaningless plots. to everyone outside of the Simpson family.
Some characters becoming unrealistically stupid, and the show shifting gears from focusing on Bart to Homer. The humor became more lurid and toilet like, with antics becoming heavily more unrealistic and zany (to the point where some even say it isn't funny. Those who stuck with the show since it came about in 1989 were quick to jump on how the show changed. However, as the year 2000 came, fans began to see themselves divided. Seasons 4 to about 10 are often said to be the "Golden Age" of The Simpsons. Each episode still contained it's own merits, themes and messages. With more zany antics and more clever, witty, and often times sophisticated humor, The Simpsons became the most popular family on television. It left it's more realistic roots and became more of a satire. These first three seasons are not usually sighted as being the best, but they are often brought up when one speaks of "The Best Episode Ever!" By Season four, the show took a turn for what may have been the best. Lisa and Bart with their sibling rivalry. Marge being the voice of reason all the time. Homer trying to do the fatherly thing in each episode. Like the kind of family you'd meet on the street (only a lot more dysfunctional). Truly, The Simpsons is the biggest thing since Seinfeld! The first three seasons showed them as if they were an actual family. "D'oh" is in the dictionary, and it has spawned off several catch-phrases and one liners. Nor could anyone anticipate it could become so cultural. No one, not even Matt Groening himself, could've imagined that The Simpsons would become as big as it did.
