| Topic | why are the first 2 seasons of The Simpsons so emotional? |
| Blue_Target 05/25/21 11:22:06 PM #13 | A Lacerating Punk Satire (1989-1990) As everyone knows from the classic Season Seven episode The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular, Matt Groening created the Simpsons when he turned the rabbit characters from his Life In Hell comic strip into humans in order to pay off his gambling debts. Okay, thats not even remotely true, but The Simpsons did start out as an animated version of Life In Hell. When Groening realized that he would lose the rights to his strip if the show got produced, he quickly sketched out a set of new characters, supposedly in the waiting room of producer James L. Brooks office. Unlike Binky and Bongo, these were definitely humans, named mostly for members of Groenings own family. But the shorts that aired on the Brooks-produced Ullman from 1987 to 1989 definitely carried the angry, antiauthoritarian outlook of Groenings old strip, full of existential dread and resentment towards the arbitrary authority of parents, schools, and other institutions. And this attitude carried over to much of the first season of the original show, embodied by its bratty standard bearer, Bart Simpson. If you were born after 1990, or just never watched the show during its first years, you may not realize it, but for about eight months or so, Bart Simpson was everywhere, on t-shirts, baseball caps, and bumper stickers (many of them unauthorized), in video games, and incarnated as every kind of doll or tchotchke really, just about every conceivable media of the pre-Internet era. (He even had a hit novelty song co-written by Michael Jackson!) Bart was the shows breakout star, an underachiever and proud of it, standing in direct contrast to the wholesome, goal-oriented kid and teen stars of Foxs live action competitors your Theo Huxtables, Samantha Micellis, and Alex P. Keatons. This led inevitably to a backlash from educators and other cultural elites like former Secretary of Education William Bennett and President George H.W. Bush, who felt that the towheaded little scamp was demoralizing Americas youth with his vandalism and prank calls. But pay closer attention, and youll realize that Bart isnt really much of a rebel at all. He disdains school and church attendance, but theres nothing inherently radical about his agenda. In his free time, he loves playing video games, watching the Krusty the Klown Show and Itchy and Scratchy cartoons, and eating junk food. In other words, Bart is a consumer (who ironically enough, became the shows first and most prominent consumable), bound by the whims and cycles of the marketplace, of which he himself is blissfully unaware. In that respect hes not that much different from his father, Homer. In a key first season episode, Simpsons Family Values, Homer gets fed up with his broods unruly behavior, and seeking to make them more like the well-adjusted photogenic families hes seen on television, seeks out a therapist, Dr. Marvin Monroe, who himself advertises on TV. Homer is even willing to sell the family TV to pay for the treatment, which backfires spectacularly. But thanks to Monroes refund policy, the Simpsons are able to afford an even nicer TV set (with realistic fleshtones!), and the episode ends with domestic bliss restored through the healing magic of consumerism. As it turned out, Homer embodied this consumerist tendency even more than Bart, and as the show transitioned into its second season, the Simpsons paterfamilias emerged as its true hero. https://www.gamersledge.com/video-games/the-way-they-was-six-totally-different-shows-the-simpsons-has-been/ --- |
