In Family Guy, the idiot is Peter Griffin, in The Simpsons it is Homer Simpson, and in American Dad it is Stan Smith. Even children’s shows such as Good Luck Charlie participate in the new standard. It is a sad reality but one that most Americans face whether they realize it or not. Whether the dad on the show

Surprisingly, I personally thought the idea of observing these cartoons with a third eye was highly effective. Usually, people tend to look past exactly what the cartoons are portraying. I noticed throughout all of the cartoons they were humanizing racism. I saw a diversity in cultures from all of the cartoons. Frequently, I observed how all the cultures were represented and the way they were dressed. Additionally, one thing that stood out from the rest was physical appearance. Between the two cartoons

Are Kids Inherently Fascist? In the article “Why kids love 'fascist' cartoons like 'Paw Patrol' and 'Thomas'” author Elissa Strauss argues that children are inherently drawn to television shows that portray underlying fascist themes that ultimately uphold a mostly white, patriarchal dominant system. Strauss uses two television shows in particular to argue her case, “Paw Patrol” and “Thomas the Tank Engine” where the former follows search and rescue dogs who go out on missions to protect their community

character that millions of people know and love (to watch do dumb things) this funny, wacky, middle aged character is none other than Homer Simpson, I think he would be a very interesting person to talk to, considering all the funny, but enticing facts about him. Homer Jay Simpson was born on May 12, 1956, and was raised on a farm by his parents Abraham and Mona Simpson. His favorite places to hang-out is at the local Kwik-E-Mart, the Krusty Burger owned by Krusty the clown, and Moe’s

sixties and The Simpson was popular in the nineties. Despite many similarities between The Simpson and The Flintstones, the differences are not as obvious. In both shows, the main characters always end up in trouble. Also they both have family situations to deal with. There is a major difference between the two shows that makes them different from one another. The main characters are completely different. The Flintstones were the greatest TV cartoon of all time until The Simpsons came and took the

1 How do different forms of entertainment media (like TV, movies, video games, comic books, etc.) create and re-create cultural values related to gender, race, ethnicity, social class, and technology? What do fictional worlds, societies, technologies, and creatures tell us about our own society and the values we hold?

The Simpsons How does a television series keep going in this time of ever changing network schedules and shows that grow stale after twelve weeks? The Simpsons have not only lasted, but it has also become a staple of American life. Many tribute this longevity to the witty and hilarious satire that is present in every episode.
