Mona Simpson

The Simpsons writers in the television show, “Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish”, explains that there is corruption for those in power and it can be easy for those in power to become corrupt. The Simpsons writers support their explanation by providing examples of corruption in power. For examples, when the inspector is reviewing the power plant Mr. Burns leaves him alone in a room full of money hoping to bribe the inspector to give him a good review. This shows the people with

possibly tries to improve humanity through its criticism. In order to truly understand the comedy in satire, the reader needs to have some basic knowledge about the topic. Satire is present in all types of literature and even in movies or cartoons. The Simpsons, by Matt Groening is a long-running satirical cartoon about the adventures of a middle class family living in America. One reason for the show’s popular success is that it mocks famous figures, institutions of power, or human

that exist now bring forth that children’s TV-viewing time is increasing (Vaala & Hornik, 2014). For these reasons, coupled with the questions laid down in the paper, I watched one episode each of Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants, and The Simpsons.

Hornady Manufacturing. This company’s headquarters is based in my hometown Grand Island NE. This company was founded in the 1940’s by Joyce Hornady. Shortly after WWII, Joyce teamed up with a partner, Vernon Speer and began buying equipment to remanufacturing spent shells.

The company was built from basically nothing to become currently one of the largest companies of ammunition

TV shows have come a long way over the last 50 years. Before the typical family involved a stay at home mom a working dad and two kids, boy and girl, but now working moms and stay at home dads same sex parents adopted children more than enough exes. Most families want to be the TV family that has everything that is perfect or not perfect but a perfect kids or parents. In the 1980s TV shows talked about the politics. In the 1990s a popular show came out called full house, this show put Mary-Kate

I don't think you need to be embarrassed about that. (We both laughed.) No, it's funny. I will literally sometimes binge on a cartoon the way someone might binge on a Netflix show. So it's like I watched cartoons for two or three hours. Some of the best TV I think has been in the Japanese cartoons and their storylines. Just wild worlds 'cause I think there's something really cool about an animation series--if you're going to make a prime time TV series--they're getting pretty close with CGI these

From the purpose of the show to the demographics to the advertising, House Hunters is successful all-around but when it reflects society what does it say? House Hunters is a strong reflection of society in several ways, the first being our society today is okay with making purchases on debt. The mortgages put up by those who decide to purchase these homes, especially in these episodes reflect the attitude of today which is purchase now and pay it off later. By using credit to purchase something

Stereotypes are present in both episodes whether they are from a gender stand point or a culture point of view. I believe what attracts viewers to these two shows is the family base, The Proud Family and George Lopez each describe their hard challenges they must confront as a family. The tagline for George Lopez states, “Family is forever. Sanity is only temporary,” (Helford, Lopez & Oppenheimer, Bullock, 2002) and for the The Proud Family states, “There’s no place like home, girl!” (Smith, 2001)

The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets by Simon Singh is a trade book that talks about the history of The Simpsons and Futurama and how mathematics is embedded into numerous episodes in each series. Along the way Singh, in addition to the other main writers for The Simpsons, talk about many of the subtle math jokes that are present. These jokes range from very simple jokes that students in elementary school could understand to jokes that not even some mathematics professors with doctorate degrees

One of the most well-known episode in The Simpsons is definitely “The Secret to Successful Marriage”, not only it is one of the highest-rated show on the Fox network the week it aired, it also receives several positive reviews from critics. So what is the secret that makes this episode so successful compare to others?
