Advantages: Comedy, Lots of Merchandise

Disadvantages: Only on Sky One now, not BBC, Simpsons Videos costa round £11.99 for just four episodes

..............No,No and Double No. The animated T.V show that was Created in America in 1993 has taken many steps forward from the shows were They Speak when there mouth is closed. Now, 11 years on the T.V Program is shown around the world. This is not all to do with comedy though. The T.V Show has had strong links with foreign countries. Japan, Canada and England have been major Countries that the Simpsons have visited as well as looking after an Albanian Boy, in that time Bart was In France. But promoting it Worldwide may have got it Known, but what kept the viewers watching was the Sheer Dumbness of Homer. In the 300th episode you see Lisa has a Counter labeled 'How many Times has Dad(Homer) Done something Stupid. During the 300th Episode Lisa Clicked it over to 300 When Homer went skateboarding in an Attempt to save Bart. But the best part of the Simpsons, i think is when Homer and Bart are together. If anyone remembers the Time Homer Became a trucker and took Bart with him, you would perhaps agree with me. During that episode, the boy behind in the car wanted Homer to Pull his horn. But Homer pulls the Wrong Part and ended up letting his Cargo go. That has to be one of the Funniest moments on T.V Ever.

The Simpsons have all kinds of Merchandise out, ranging from Pencil Cases to Games and Figures to Videos. Now, the Simpsons are pulling right up close to The Soaps which so mny people watch. There rise was helped by Sky One taking up the T.V Show, featuring a new episode every Fortnight which kept viewers watching. The fact that it is on Every Night, even Saturday and Sunday shows it's dominance. Futurama has since been one of those on/off programs, but the Simpsons has always been one of those on Programs. Every Toy shop you turn into, you have to see some sort of Simpsons Merchandise. Even shops such as WHS Sell Simpsons Merchandise. It is not all stationary aswell. It sells Simpsons Games, Videos, Magazines and Stickers. Even the Newspapers do
specials on them from time to time, collect 10 tokens and get a free Simpsons Video. Loads of kids magazines have free sticker books in them, when the Simpsons comes out, they all do. Now, Newspapers and Magazines are taking advantage of are 'addictiveness' to The Simpsons. I would more than likely buy the Paper that has a Free Simpsons Video, even if was a token collect. With Sky One currently doing a Simpsons Summer Giveaway, many new people are going to be watching them in a hope to win a Trip Los Angelos or A Home Cinema Kit. Simpsons really have taken over the world, shall we call it Simponmaina. Remember there on Sky One Every evening.
