May the society remember the yellow family the way I do.'The Simpsons' Showrunner Responds To Claims Apu Character May Be Departing The Show - UpdateĪfter debuting as a series of shorts on then-nascent Fox’s The Tracey Ullman Show, that first full episode of The Simpsons aired December 17, 1989.
I do not like long conclusions but The Simpsons are dead for me from somewhere in 13th season. This path ruined all our, the audience`s trust toward accustomed and dear to heart characters, it is hard to believe their actions. For now on all his actions are not dictated by a noble sense of loyalty and honor but by some feelings. As they "enforced" Smithers to commit "coming-out" he became a pale stereotype of homosexuals. The creators decided to spit on Smithers's character and what he was before and sculpt him from zero. This controversial position was a huge field for jokes which never annoyed the audience. The jokes about Waylon Smithers, the local Rothschild's assistant, were built on his servile loyalty which almost seemed as love towards his boss. Here is an example of the worst change in the series. The creators chose option 2 but it seemed lousy and artificial. The character development, in this case, is impossible unless you alter them in just one episode. The thing is that in every episode a certain change occurred and it got annulated in the next episode. They made an unforgivable mistake for a sitcom: they developed the characters. Screenwriters started conforming to trends and "getting high" on hype. From now on The Simpsons are destined to be "milked" to exhaustion and die in the hands of the creator, not as a masterpiece but a commercial product. The Simpsons were murdered at the top of their game by human avarice.
Unlike the South Park`s harsh style Matt Groening demonstrates the issue diplomatically by simply showing its consequences on the characters.Īt first glance everything is refine: the creators are very talented and they know how to make folks laugh, but no such luck. Besides entertaining the audience, Simpsons present important social issues. That is why The Simpsons are still funny and actual. Burns sacrificed everything to save his assistant`s life. What I particularly adore is that the creators didn`t portray Springfield black and white: talented and altruistic Lisa often exhibits egoistic behavior, lazy and sneaky Bart sometimes presents his secret talents and such a greedy and insidious curmudgeon as Mr. I am sure that you have encountered for sure irritating neighbors, extremely loyal and sycophantic employees and unrecognized geniuses in real life. Besides, the cartoon is not attached to our particular beloved family: you can find a cornucopia of characters – an entire city, among the inhabitants of which you can find yourself, your friends and fiends, your acquaintances and family members.
No surprise the TV series has such an enormous and loyal audience. The intellectual would cry of joy when Sideshow Bob performs a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. An average one will find Homer`s flight in a spaceship absurd and appreciate the moment. The "Simpsonian" humor appeals to everyone: a buffoon could laugh at a character who slips on a banana peel or performs a well-known old school gag. I recently caught the detail but it impressed me. Just like the same Family Guy and South Park, the cartoon imposes its obvious cheap moral about the value of the family, friendship, importance of ecology, but it presents it in a colorful wrap of a vivid and lively story.Ībout the humor. Before scrutinizing the Simpsons I used to admire such satires as The Family Guy and South Park that is why their "ancestor`s" first episode literally yelled at my face "YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN IT!" Indeed, The Simpsons were a revolution in the world of comedy, so later works started stealing their plots, clichés, and jokes shamelessly. I returned to the happy-go-lucky inhabitants of Springfield when the rumors about its fortune-telling abilities rose, you know, about Trump, 9.11, etc. Even not well acquainted to the yellow family I felt a great abhorrence of it: the animation was lousy and the characters ugly. During my childhood The Simpsons seemed something mysterious to me: every time the legendary intro played my parents sent me to bed because it was 21:00 already.
