The Simpsons (in English, The Simpsons) is an animated television series. Of American origin and adult themes, The Simpsons were created by Matt Groening, and recounts the life and the daily life of a family of middle class American who lives in a fictitious town called Springfield (one of the reasons that the people named so there are many people in the U.S. denominated thus making it impossible location) [citation needed]. In the words of Groening, the series is a satire and criticism of American society.
The story
The Simpsons was a series created by Matt Groening of some towns that were 20 km between them, in Kentucky, USA. People were called and Shellbyville Simpsonville. There was also a village 100 km from here called Evergreen, where he drew the name of the street where the family lives Simpson. In late 1985, James L. Brooks, producer of the programme The Tracey Ullman Show, needed intervals for the program, tasked to carry out that Matt Groening, as he had liked his other work, the comic strip Life in Hell (Life in Hell in English). The Simpsons were created in fifteen minutes, while Groening expected to be received by Brooks in his office. On April 19, 1987 in a small two-minute short entitled Good Night, The Simpsons made their first appearance. Forty-eight were issued in the short program, until the family moved to have its own series, whose first chapter was issued on December 17, 1989. The Fox had doubts about whether the series would be seen in prime time schedule, which is not happening from The Flintstones, so it planned to deliver only four episodes in the first season.

Original
The Simpsons is, as a whole, a criticism of all aspects of American society, its lifestyle, its society, its values, its prejudices, its political system. Therefore, this series will qualify for adults.
The series is characterized by having a stamp that shows itself in each chapter. The start of the episodes was essentially the same, but with slight changes.
They are clouds on Springfield, and down the nuclear power plant. Following this shows the school and the sentence (other than in each chapter) to make Bart to write on the blackboard as punishment. Then the bell rings, and it leaves the school on his skateboard (skate), traveling across town to his house. Then Homer manipulating carbon rods in the nuclear power station, you hear the horn of lunchtime, unties tongs with which handles the bar and he sticks to his back, but he will realize. The next scene takes place in a supermarket. Marge is going on the purchase by the box, and employee passes through the laser to Maggie, as if it were an item. At the moment is that its price is 847.63 dollars. Later Lisa is playing the saxophone in the school banda. Suddenly he just improvised and exits toward his home. The map below shows Homer driving and remove the back bar of carbon, launched by the window. Bart, who is on his skate, is covered. Then they go to Marge driving next to Maggie. Finally, Homer comes to the garage of his house, Bart jumps on his car, Lisa pretty much run with your bike and Marge appears with his car, chasing her husband. The next level the way the gag of the sofa, always different, and the TV screen showing the credits.
BART phrases on the blackboard
One such change occurs in the part in which shows the kind of Bart from outside, through a window. You can see Bart writing on the blackboard a sentence as punishment. These phrases are often humorous and in some cases even philosophical. The phrases punishment by Bart appeared in the second episode (Bart is a Genius) and have since appeared in nearly every chapter.
These are the first ten phrases appeared in the history of The Simpsons:
* Avoid wasting the chalk (Bart is a genius).
* Not go back to skate in the aisles (Homer's Odyssey).
* No. I eructar class (Home, sour home).
* Do not instigate the revolution (The blues of the Mona Lisa).
* Does not draw naked women in class (abobinable man of the forest).
* I have not seen Elvis (The head nuts).
* The gum garlic are bad manners (Viva harvest).
* Laugh at me, not me (Krusty enters Chiron).
* Do not shout "fire" with the house full of people (The babysitter strikes again).
* Not encourages others to fly (Bart suspended).
Drugs
The allusions to drugs are very common: Homer smoking marijuana, getting drunk, and so on. In the chapter in which a guess predicts that Lisa reach the presidency of the United States, Bart tells "legalízala." There are also several times in which Marge wondered "What is Bart doing?" Homer replied "I do not know. Is Selling drugs?" In a chapter in which some crows damage the eyes of Homer, we prescribe marijuana to withstand pain and obviously Homer was hooked.
Homosexuality
They have left many homosexuals in the series, apart from being legalized gay weddings in Springfield with the aim of attracting profits. The best known are Waylon Smithers (the assistant Mr. Burns), Patty (Marge's sister), and all steelworks "AJAX" americas. In one episode where an Indian shows his future to Bart, shows the children of Ned Flanders cleaning a piece of furniture in a very amanerada. It is commonly thought that Milhouse Van Houten has homosexual tendencies because the psychologist in an episode of the school let him glimpse the family Simpson. Was also raised that the "famous" movie star Troy McClure was gay, and even hinted that there was improper things with fish. To remove the rumor married Selma, Marge's sister. The same Homer went to live with two gay when he was a crisis in their marriage.
In addition there have been many other occasions where he has appeared in or been hinted homosexuality in the series as in the film festival in Springfield when the chief Wiggum said "at last I maquillarme." It has also been hinted much about homosexuality Lenny and Carl (in that episode of gay weddings, Homer was "ordered" priest and deal with cases, to what Marge "no hardship, they must resolve for themselves" . The same Homer is often placed in situations amaneradas. It has even come to insinuate the same thing with Bart and grandfather in ways that more evident.
Another time in the series where homosexuality is presented, is when Kent Brockman's happening on television a number of names, which he says are homosexuals, but at a speed that can not be levied. Among the names are Matt Groening (creator of the series and first on the list), Jhony Neutrino (an obvious parody of Jimmy Neutron, the boy genius) and the symbol for a time used the composer and singer Prince to replace his name.
The naked
The nudity is something that is almost in every episode. For some, naked in Los Simpson is an essential factor in the comedy series. Homer emphasize in this field, Marge just went completely naked in the latest episode of the ninth season: Is Marge, I slept with The Danger?. Bart has left naked in the series almost as much as his father and Lisa is the only family that has not taught the rear. A Maggie simply because he has been seen as a naked baby. However, in any episode of The Simpsons have appeared genitals of any inhabitant of Springfield, nor the breasts of any woman. In the episode Pica, Rasca and Marge, showing genitals The statue of David, Michelangelo, a unique case in the series.
Violence
The fights in the series are also frequent episodes in both normal and in the special Halloween and Rasca and Pica (in Latin America and Tomy Daly). A classic element is the frequent attempted strangulation of Bart by Homer, accompanied with the cry of "Little devil!" (Spain in what is often argued that Homer "Te voy a. ...". Also, although pass unnoticed, when Bart bothers Lisa so cruel as it strangles equal to or stronger than Homer.
Death
The deaths often occur in special Halloween. An exception would be those of Maude Flanders and "bleeding gums" Murphy. Another referred to death outside the special Halloween is the Frank Grimes, a co-worker of Homer who died electrocuted after suffering an attack of anger against it. When Dr. Marvin Monroe was believed dead for seven seasons. In the chapter where Marge wrote the book The Heart harpoon, appears Dr. Marvin Monroe, said he was very sick. This is contradictory because the series have appeared in his grave and a hospital and a school gym in his name.
Weapons
References generated by the series on the subject of the use of weapons is treated in a very subtle little (in the same manner that all issues are addressed in the series). These are the people who use them as citizens little sane and without a real appreciation for life ... whether humans or animals.
One of the chapters that more talks about this issue is one in which Homer wants to buy a gun, entered the store and select one (but not before being announced and fired without being charged, the owner) but then learns that has a minimum waiting five days and then said "five days, but I am angry today"; past 5 days you say: "Research has shown that you are a dangerous person, therefore can not have more than three weapons ".
Nor can we forget that Maggie Simpson shot Mr. Burns and it's hiding a shotgun in his crib with Homer who saved a firefight with some mafia. It is also known that Bart has an incredible ability with the weapons they supposedly won in public schools.
Religion
The references to Christianity Protestant, are a costante in the series, Marge is very believer, while the rest of the family gives them the same faith and religion. Flanders is the most believer in the series and his whole life is based on faith and God. However, there have been several references to the Rev. Lovejoy is an atheist. Lisa Simpsons is Buddhist (like Lenny and Carl) resigned to cristanismo in the chapter in which Homer destroyed the church and Mr Burns reconstructs the converted into a business. It also makes many references to other religions such as Judaism and Hinduism. It must be remembered when Homer, Bart, Lisa and Maggie join a sect as well as the entire city, except Marge, the family Flanders and Reverend Lovejoy. Also worth mentioning that throughout the series has been made many references to God does not exist and that all religions are a fraud, the most obvious was when Homer becomes intelligent and discovers making tax returns that God does not exist. In the last chapter of the season 16, setting up a debate between Christians and Catholics protesantes almost led to war, at the end when everything is calm agree in combat homosexuality and stem cells (of course ironic and criticizing the stance of Christianity) at the end of the chapter shows that a thousand years later, Bart has become a messiah and humanity lives in war by the two religions that have emerged from Bart. In one episode Homer said that God is your favorite fictional character.
