The Simpsons have the ability to enthrall millions of families across the nation and are immensely popular since viewers see it as a credible representation of the American family in the characters of Homer, Marge, and their children. Unlike other family serials, the Simpsons represent a unique, lovable, and attainable family unit in a situation comedy. The show satirizes but also redeems every unit of the family that comprises of father, mother, and children. The show does give a reflection of the way American families live for good or for the bad but eventually is culturally crucial in the guidance of the American family towards a positive future. However, the satiric qualities of the show may be seen as stretching the family very far as depicted in the subtle reversion of the family towards the conventional sitcom family mode. But in this way, the sitcom does not adversely impact the stereotype of the nuclear family in regard to family gender relationships and constant patterns of male domination in society.

The Simpson family is not portrayed as a perfect family in being dysfunctional and imperfect at times but their realism and shortcomings actually make up the family in being reflective of the typical American family. The Simpsons show is very appealing since each section of the family breaks away from the family representations as appearing in the previous sitcoms. The father was the dominating character in previous sitcoms but in this show, the role of the father has been altered to fit into the new family image. Previous sitcoms depicted the father as being the all knowledgeable and respectable moral authoritarian figure in the family. It was in keeping with Groening’s as well as the American vision of a father role that was good-humored and intelligent, which needed to be altered since such fatherly depictions cannot represent the real picture as prevalent in American families. To counter the stereotype image of the father, Groening created the character of Homer Simpson who has been depicted as a modern “everyman’ who by way of his imperfection is able to contribute to
