Simpsons TV Show on DVD

If you like humor, you owe it to yourself to pick up the Simpsons TV show on DVD. Although this is a cartoon, it expounds some of the best comedy writing of all times. What is more, the show has been on the air for over 10 years and the writing has been consistent. The voices behind Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa have remained the same throughout this time. The Simpsons may be a cartoon, but any adult has got to laugh at this show.

You can pick up the Simpsons TV Show on DVD as a gift for anyone who has a good sense of humor and they will not be disappointed. Yes, it is animated, but it is far from being a child's program, although it is suitable for younger children to watch. Unlike other cartoons of the day that are more adult oriented and may deemed to be inappropriate for younger viewers, the Simpsons is appropriate viewing for the entire family. There are a lot of inside jokes and each episode has an ending that actually teaches somewhat of a moral lesson. There are many seasons of the Simpsons TV show on DVD, getting them all can cost a pretty penny, but they are worth it for any fan of this iconic television show.

Comedy writing is probably the most difficult of all writing to do. Anyone who has grown up watching comedy TV shows often sees the writing slipping towards the end. The show is no longer funny. Saturday Night Live has not been funny for about 10 years now, but it continues to drag on. But the Simpsons have not lost their touch. Each season brings funnier episodes.

Because of the animation, the Simpsons does not put out as many episodes as a regular television show, but it is hard to find one that is not funny. The "star" of the show is Homer Simpson who works at a Nuclear Power plant. His wife, Marge, is the voice of reason as is his very well grounded and morally upright daughter, Lisa. Bart Simpson, the son, is the comic foil for Homer and through the years, we have gotten to know Homer's friends and neighbors. When you watch the Simpsons TV show on DVD, you should watch it from the beginning episodes.

You might notice a difference in the drawing of the characters. The Simpsons were actually a cartoon short on the 1980s program, "The Tracy Ullman Show." Although this show was short lived, the cartoon Simpson family was a hit and got their own show in the late 1980s. They have been going strong ever since. When the show first made the scene in the 1990s and became popular, many parents felt it was "inappropriate" for kids. This, naturally, made the show even more popular. Today, there is a whole generation who grew up watching The Simpsons.

If you want the ultimate comedy show that has withstood the test of time and managed to be consistent with regard to the comedy writing, get the Simpsons TV show on DVD.
