Once, Marge began to protest Itchy and Scratchy cartoons. Itchy is a psychopathic mouse who's only purpose is to kill and torture Scratchy, a cat. Nearing the end of the episode, Marge realizes that Itchy and Scratchy is not hurting anyone. They take a satirical view to the situation when a group of mothers try to stop Michaelangelo's David from visiting the Springfield Museum of Art by means that it is pornographic. Unlike many sitcoms, The Simpsons is more like everyday life.
Homer works in a power plant.
In many other sitcoms, the father works a popular job, such as an accountant, or with a television studio. Many children can relate to this. In some cases, The Simpsons is educational. Unlike Alex, Homer doesn't receive help and coughs up the doughnut as his co-workers look at the Heimlich maneuver poster. The Simpsons affects kids, just as anything around them will.
