every where you turn these days, a yellow skined cartoon character is staring at you.
you wake up in the morning switch on your tv and its either the simpsons or an advert for it. you go out into town and deside to grab a burger at burger king, only to find a homer simpson toy nested between your burger and fries.after your burger you go into a games shop and sitting there on the shelf is simpsons pc , gameboy and playstation games.the next shop you visit is woolworths as soon as you walk into the door your confronted not by a happy helpful member of staff but a giant cardboard cut out advitising the new simpsons video. as you roam further into the shop you find loads of simpsons videos , underwear , t-shirts, books, cds, clocks , radios every thing.
and the worst thing of all :
I LIKE IT.
its kind of unbelievable when you think about it.all this hype, merchendise, publisty from want set out to be a short cartoon schetch on the tracy ulman show just over 10 years ago.
just over 10 years ago there was this US fox hit comedy sketch show, the tracy ulman show.
they went to the creaor of the simpsons matt groaning and asked him to come up with an idea for a short 5min cartoon sketch on the show.matt was contenplating about using his previous news paper comic strip life in hell but at the last minute drew up 5 characters, a dad , a mum , a son , a daughter and a little baby - the simpsons.
fox loved it and so did the audience.
in 1990 the simpsons were given there own christmas special which lasted for 22minuites.
which was soon followed by a prime time series.
Over here in the uk a resenably new style of tv had been launched - sky tv.
even though it was an improvement on teresteral tv it didnt have any show that made sky a must have.
and then the simpsons struck the satelight dish like a bolt of yellow lightning.
now there was a reasen to get sky and that reasen was the simpsons.
now that a large number of people had seen and experienced the simpsons,they brought out the merchendise.
toys , videos , badges etc.
as time whent by although the characters never aged (much) the show had clearly aged, it had become more inteligent and wity it became an adult cartoon which children could also enjoy.
then we heard the news that the BBC had signed an agreement an paid a lot of D'OH to get the simpsons.
but from the first series, while sky were around the 6th or 7th series.
now everyone knew and loved the simpsons.
this is when they started to take control.
as viewers young and old were fans of the show they had lots of marketing options.
for the younger viewers - toys , teddies , stickers , pajamers,pez machines and loads more.
for older viewers - ties, boxers, animation cells , car accesories and more
for every one - videos, cds, books and computer games.
Many cartoons have set out to be the next simpsons and have failed.
there was beavis and butt head , family guy , king of the hill, daria.
but one has come close it will never take over simpsons but its close.
it is called futurama. thats right the cartton from matt groaning the crator of the simpsons about a pizza guy who was frozen in time for 1000 years.
but what is it we like so much about the simpsons.
i think its just the fact that its pure whit and has the best characters ever.
it also has fantastic writers.
and its got something for every one young and old , male or femal , yellow or not yellow.
What does the future hold for the simpsons.
well in terms of tv 2 more seasens have been signed and im confident that there will be more to follow.
the voice talents are getting a hefty pay rise
the executive produce, mike scully has been demoted as he has been steering the show more at kids latly as he has a boy and a girl.
new simpsons video , the simpsons backstage pass out soon
the simpsons are coming to DVD
matt groanings other cartoon futurama is coming to video and dvd
a movie is being planned
and you can also espect loads of new merchedise.
WOO-HOO

Its been a while since anything was said about it!!
its just really really really funny! there hularious especially homer thats y people watch
I guess the Simpsons are just a family everyone can relate to!! The sort of humour in the show is the sort of humour I can relate to most definately!!
any one
why do you think its so popular?
the simpsons is supreme.
I think as with all series they its given in to merchandising and over-popularity.
The newest simpsons series are nothing compared to the 1,2,3,4,5,6 series they were all brilliant.
the newer ones are over the top and un-imaginative
