Talk:The Simpsons

Presidents
Maybe it should mention the feud with/coverage of George H. W. Bush or other bigwigs, or treatment of politics in general. --Annanoon (talk) 12:06, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Controversy during debut + Bartmania?
This is a really good article, but I think there should be a section over the controversy surrounding The Simpsons during its debut to the early 90s. Conservatives back then used to criticize the show, and also criticized Bart Simpson as a false role model for children. Also, it'd be interesting if Bartmania was covered too. I'm certain that these probably fit one of the four missions of the wiki.

I'm kinda surprised The Simpsons didn't get an article in the past until now. It's one of the most important sitcoms in America and media in general and it should've gotten one a lot earlier. -𝓪𝓵𝓮𝔁 here! 14:55, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

I remember how controversial the Simpsons were as a kid. I was real little when it came out and I remember the shit storm my church had about it. I even remember the Bush speech where he said we need more "Waltons and less Simpsons" or something boring and old. Funny enough, that speech got me into imitating famous people. A mini-Streisand effect? Anyways, it's funny how mild the Simpsons is (especially an episode like Homer learning a lesson about not objectifying women in the first season) compared to say South Park which really didn't have anywhere near the controversey the Simpsons did on their debut. Wonder if it's the fact that Simpsons and Beavis & Butthead sort of softened the blow for South Park. I agree, a section on the controversy during its debut is worth writing. It was a moral panic back in the early 90's.PeeBay (talk) 12:25, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
