From its crudely drawn vignettes on The Tracey Ullman Show to its 750 episodes (and counting), The Simpsons has evolved from an alternative programming experiment to a worldwide cultural phenomenon. In The Simpsons: A Cultural History, Moritz Fink explores the show’s roots, profiles its most popular characters, and examines the impact the series has had—not only its shaping of American culture but also its pivotal role in the renaissance of television animation. Fink traces the show’s comic forerunners and examines how the show, in turn, generated a new wave of animation that changed the television landscape.
Drawing on memorable scenes and providing useful background details, this book combines cultural analysis with intriguing trivia. In addition to an appreciation of the show’s landmark episodes, The Simpsons: A Cultural History offers an entertaining discussion of the series that will appeal to both casual fans and devoted aficionados of this groundbreaking program.
