Analyse the opening sequence of the Simpsons. How does the opening sequence appeal to a variety of age groups? Is this a successful title sequence?

Matt Groening changed television forever when he brought animation back to primetime with this immortal nuclear family. It was first screened on 14th January 1990 and it has become one of the world's most famous cartoon as it always captured a regular audience of 24 million each week.

It has also established itself as an award-winning international pop culture phenomenon. It is the longest-running sitcom of all time and it is also one of the most literate television programs on the air. It contains many references to subject matter and scholars from various academic fields.

It also contains over a hundred instances of mathematic ranging from arithmetic to geometry to calculus. Most episodes of The Simpsons contain significant math that relates to material we normally cover in our classes. The programmer is also an ideal source of fun.

The show is funny with bad language and offensive things! At the opening sequence the Simpsons appear out of clouds, and then it shows us Homer in the Nuclear Power Plant and after that throws the little piece of fuel out of the car on his way home.

Secondly it shows us Bart writing on the skating board and when bill rings he jumps out of the school skating on air and then crosses the traffic.

Thirdly it shows us the mother, Marge Simpson doing her shopping and it also shows us that Maggie got scanned. After that Lisa Simpson comes up in her music class playing her saxophone and also she got kicked out of the class. The sequence ends in a funny way as the whole family sets on sofa watching T.V.

The town of Springfield is full of places that the Simpsons family go and which most of the scenes occur.

The Nuclear Power Plant is where Homer Simpson works in as the safety inspector.

The school where Bart Simpson does his detention and writes silly quotes on the board with the chalk, For example: "No one wants to hear about my sciatica",
Join now!


"I can't see dead people", "I did not win the Nobel Fart Prize", "I have neither been there nor done that", etc...

The music store is where Lisa goes and looks for some music equipment as she is fascinated by music equipments and musicians. She is also in the school music team and a saxophonist.

T.V store in which Bart like to miss around as he is known as a naughty boy!

The shopping centre which Marge Simpson goes with Maggie does her shopping for her family and buys food

We learn that ...
