Analyzing 'The Simpsons' for Young Children and Parents
This analysis of 'The Simpsons' episodes focuses on the show's cultural and moral conventions suitable for young children and their parents, highlighting its global reach.
I decided to choose the last week episodes of “The Simpsons” for the analysis with a target audience of young children and their parents. I think that the show follows the cultural and moral convention required for the demographic group of people. TV show episodes are available online and can be watched not only by American viewers but also fans from all over the world. The financial aspect of the show production allows for the preservation of the program quality while maintaining ratings. A team of creative writers is developing the script, based on the principles of empathy for children and youth.
The television show takes advantage of the advanced technological capabilities to engage young children and implement social issues in education and entertainment. Humor and moral lessons directed towards the social knowledge improvement of young children viewers. The creators of the show are especially cautious not to show the source of jokes and situations that cannot be conveyed to children’s perception.
Even if it is a fantasy, the humor and jokes are targeted at the cognitive development, education, and social adaptability of children. I think that the target audience of “The Simpsons” meets the requirements for demographic analysis, as the main characters are young children.
