The Simpsons

Hey,
So this is my fist time attempting to blog...wish me luck! I've been reading a book that details the entire history of the Simpsons tv show starting with it conception to becoming a tv hit. The book is very interesting but a little less humorous than I expected. The author, John Ortved, compiled opinions, quotes, thoughts etc from various people associated with the Simpsons in any way. The author was fair in his compilation by including opinions from very side when it comes to a controversy. The book shows how the creator, Matt Groening, uses the Simpsons almost as satire by pointing out all the flaws and downfalls in society. Groening used characters that are very relatable; a rebellious son, perfectionist daughter, and insane yet caring loving parents. Only 60 pages in but so far it's a thumbs up!!
