why the Simpsons?

The Simpsons are a typical tv show to see on weekends for me, I watch the serie since when I was 10 years old and was the center of the laughts and topic of conversation with my classmates.

Sometimes  I ask to my self why the serie produces a great impact on people of many generations, for example in my father or my nephews, and the only answer that I have is the globalization, that afect the culture pop of many countries, between these Chile. I think how the chilean families are reflected in springfield characters? Because Chilean society increasingly has the same critics, characteristics or concerns that appear in the series. Apart of this, the tv channels have exploited the series so that most of us relate to characters like Lisa, Homer, Bart or Marge.

Putting all that aside, I like the serie and one of my favorite chapters is when Bart sell his soul, he said to his friend Milhouse that the soul is a lie, Milhouse reply “All religions have a soul, why would they lie?”, after that the scene changes with the priest counting money.
