The Simpsons (in English, The Simpsons) is an American comedy series in animation format created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company and issued in several countries. The series is a satire of American society about the life and daily life of a middle class family in that country (which consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson) who lives in a fictional town called Springfield .


TOPICS:The town of Springfield acts as a complete universe that allows characters to deal with the problems of modern society. By having Homer work in a nuclear plant can comment on the state of the environment. Following years of Bart and Lisa to Springfield Elementary School allows writers of the show illustrate controversial issues on the subject of education. The city also has a large number of television stations that allows filmmakers to make jokes about themselves and the world of entertainment.Some commentators have noted that the show is political in nature and susceptible to a left-wing bias. Al Jean admitted in an interview that "We [the show] are of liberal bent." The writers often reveal his penchant for progressive ideas, but make jokes across the political spectrum. The series often presents governments and large corporations as callous entities willing to take up opportunities medio.Por Therefore, the writers often have the authority figures with a dark and unfavorable light. In The Simpsons, politicians are corrupt, ministers such as Reverend Lovejoy church are indifferent to the parishioners and the local police are incompetent.Religion is another major theme, in times of crisis the family often turns its eyes to God, and the series has addressed most of the major religions (like Christianity, Judaism or Hinduism, etc.)
