An Analysis of The Simpsons The Simpsons is a very successful animated sitcom. Sitcom is an abbreviation of situation comedy. A sitcom is a comedy in which you have different storylines every episode. Other famous animated sitcoms are Family Guy, Futurama and South Park. The Simpsons is the brainchild of Matt Groening (rhymes with complaining) and started of as 30 second sketches on the Tracy Ullman Show. They proved so successful that the Fox Network decided …showed first 75 words of 1793 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1793 total…Simpsons become the contradiction it now is. Another point is that The Simpsons critisices the very medium it uses which is TV. Matt Groening satirises TV for making people want things they don't need however I have seen a lot of kids go and buy Simpsons toys and games after watching The Simpsons. Because of this I find it hypocritical for The Simpsons to critisice other things for doing the same thing it (indirectly) does.
