THE SIMPSONS & FAMILY GUY

Let's talk about my two favourite TV series, The Simpsons and Family Guy.

The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox. Is a satirical parody of the middle class American lifestyle epitomized by its titular family, which consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. The show is set in the fictional town of Springfield, and lampoons many aspects of the human condition including American culture, society, and television. Homer, the father, works as a safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant—a position at odds with his careless, buffoonish personality. He is married to Marge Simpson, a stereotypical American housewife and mother. They have three children: Bart, a ten-year-old troublemaker; Lisa, a precocious eight-year-old activist; and Maggie, a baby who rarely speaks, but communicates by sucking on a pacifier. There are also a lot of of secondary and tertiary characters.

I like this series because I like the way it criticizes American society and the world at large, and I laugh much with most scenes.

I've watched all the chapters except the new season, but I never got bored of seeing them, and I have a guide where there are all the chapters written. I've read it a lot of times.

I watch this series from the 8 years or so, long time ago!














Family Guy is an animated American television sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane that airs on Fox and regularly on other television networks in syndication. The show centers on a semi-dysfunctional family that lives in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island. The show uses frequent "cutaway gags", jokes in the form of tangential vignettes.The show revolves around the adventures of Peter Griffin, a bumbling but well-intentioned blue-collar worker. Peter is an Irish American Catholic with a thick Rhode Island / Eastern Massachusetts accent. His wife Lois is generally a stay-at-home mother and piano teacher, and has a distinct New York accent from being a member of the Pewterschmidt family of wealthy socialites. Peter and Lois have three children: teenage daughter Meg, who is frequently the butt of jokes due to her homeliness and lack of popularity; teenage son Chris, who is overweight, unintelligent and, in many respects, a younger version of his father; infant son Stewie, a diabolical infant of ambiguous sexual orientation who has adult mannerisms and speaks fluently with an affected upper-class, mid-Atlantic English accent and stereotypical archvillain phrases. Living with the family is Brian, the family dog, who is highly anthropomorphized, walks on two legs, drinks Martinis, smokes cigarettes and engages in human conversation, though he is still considered a pet in many respects.



A little over two years that I see this series, but already I've seen almost every chapter. It has a more black humor, more cruel, but it makes me laugh a lot. The character I like most is Stewie, I think he's a child that's unique and very original
and makes me laugh a lot the way he hates his mother, jajaja!








Well, that's all for today...



Bye!
