I'm guessing that everyone has heard of the Simpson family and have probably watched at least one episode through out there life… but for those that have been living on mars for the passed thirty years here's a brief idea of what the little yellow family is about…

Last Exit to Springfield

Advantages: Woo Hoo!
Disadvantages: Doh!

I am going to make a bold statement here and say that The Simpsons is quite possibly the best television program ever to grace the goggle box. I doubt if there are many people who are not familiar with the images of at least one member of this dysfunctional cartoon family. The Simpsons started life as a short segment on the Tracy Ulman show. The first of these was called "good night" and lasted just 1 minute and 46 seconds when aired on the 19th ...
...of the multi Emmy award winning show making it the longest running animated series in history, surpassing The Flintstones. The Simpsons humour works on many levels and offers a different appeal depending on the age or sex of the viewer; Males can relate to Homer and his constant daily struggles with little money and a job he hates, Females empathise with Marge and her efforts to keep the family unit together and functioning correctly. Children love ...

Socrates,Plato,Aristotle and .....HOMER.

Advantages: Brings mirth and enjoyment to long winter nights.
Disadvantages: Only 20 mins long.

All Simpsons fans will have seen how our friend,Homer, has grown in stature over the history of this series.The early episodes tended to have Bart as their no.1 character but now the backbone and mainstay of this truly amazing comedy is definitely Homer and long may that situation remain so! Most men are able to relate and to empathise with Homer if only they admit to the truth.There is a little (or a lot) of him in every male fan. What is it about ...
...the aspects of his character are pretty undesirable but somehow this is a case when the whole is greater than the sum of it`s parts and we end up with a lovable oaf that nobody could really hate. So what are these facets of his personality,plus as well as minus points? To anyone seeing him for the first time ,he will no doubt come over as an overweight,lazy slob who seems to grow less intelligent episode by episode,always coming up with some crazy ...

The rise and fall of Springfield

Advantages: One of the greatest things to hit TV.
Disadvantages: The recent episodes have been BAD, are we seeing a decline in old age?

The Simpsons is an institution. There are those who dislike it, but everyone can name the family members and knows what colour Marge's hair is. Thus, I am not going to explain my reasons for loving the series in great depth with this op. Instead I will outline the characters for those not as addicted as me and list my 10 favourite episodes. The characters Homer Simpson The family head. An idiot who always tries to do his best for his family, when ...
...focus on Bart, until the makers realised what an incredible character they had in Homer. He has always worked in Burns' nuclear plant, originally a regular employee until he was sacked and rehired as a safety officer. Considering how much time he spends on his behind he has had an eventful life. He has been an astronaut, mascot for the Springfield Isotopes, committed to a mental home for wearing a pink shirt, a country music manager, had a triple ...

hummmmmmmmmm beeeeeerrrrr

Advantages: hilarious!
Disadvantages: none

Everyone knows the Simpsons, they must be the worlds most famous family by now!!! Originally the Simpsons started as a TV series and is now available on DVD and video. Each episode is 25 minutes long (30 minutes if it's on Sky and you add in the adverts). There are hundreds of episodes of the Simpsons now, I must of seen most of them! Each of them has a different story which is funny, entertaining and has something in it we can all relate to! The ...
...family members consist of; Homer: the Dad. Homer works in a Nuclear Power Plant and is completely useless. He is known for drinking a lot of Duff bear and saying Doh lots! Marge; the Mum. Marge is well known for her HUGE blue beehive. Lisa: the eldest daughter, very bright (unlike the rest of the family). Bart: The son, completely useless and always getting into trouble, I would say the main character! Maggie: they youngest daughter, doesnt' ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "BBC2 - The Simpsons"

A Funny American sitcom whatever next

Advantages: Clever , funny, darkly humourous and top soundtrack
Disadvantages: The odd Americans-only gag and a few cop-out endings

This is a rare gem of a show, sitting cunningly on BBC2 after the Simpsons, it is witty, clever, multi-layered and has probably the finest soundtrack of any TV show in the history of time. Its about your "typical" American sitcom household, preoccupied father, overbearing mother, three young brothers at home (Malcolm is the middle one, hence the name) and an older brother who has been sent to Military school as a punishment. The sections set at the Military school are funny by themselves, but the bulk of the show revolves around Malcolm and his home and school life. Malcolm is graded as a genius by his school in the first episode and attracts some geeky friends, in particular a spectacle wearing, comic collecting, wheelchair using, black ,asthmatic who has some of the best lines, when he manages to deliver them between wheezes ...

Review of BBC2: Malcolm In The Middle

The future of cartoons

Advantages: good humour, good characters
Disadvantages: hard to relate to

From the great creators of the Simpsons comes Futurama! Everyone has heard of the Simpsons, and most people love them! (except for some oldies!) Matt Groening may have become bored of the Simpsons, or just wanted to create something else, either way he has made the right decision in making Futurama. The Simpsons on BBC2 was becoming a bit boring, every show was a repeat, and it was losing its touch. Not sure about Sky, I think they had some new episodes?. Anyways, Futurama! It?s basically about ‘Fry? a teenager in the present time, who gets stuck in a time-warping machine, and finds himself waking up/being released from the machine a very long time later! He was a delivery boy in the twentieth century, and is determined to not do the same job when he starts looking for one years later. But, how funny, he has a job analysis done ...

Review of Channel 4 - Futurama

Buffy

Advantages: Good storylines, very witty
Disadvantages: Might be inappopriate for younger children

I really love this program. This program is in the 'Cult' genre along with programs such as the Simpsons and Star Trek. Buffy the Vampire Slayer can be seen on Sky 1 or BBC2 although Sky 1 has finished showing the current series (series 4) and so is showing repeats on Sundays at 8pm. BBC2 are showing series 3 at the moment on Wednesdays at 6:45pm. I can recommend this programme to anyone who likes Sarah Michelle Gellar or anyone interested in horror type programmes. Sometimes the storylines can be a little far fetched but i think that that has to be expected from any programme like this. ...
