The world according to The Simpsons

The Simpsons have been best known for tackling every issue on American Culture from religion to politics. When watching The Simpsons one can identify with multiple cultures within its creation.

It also breaks away from the traditional family and exposes a very dysfunctional Ozzie and Harriet family, but does end up with a lesson to teach in the end.
