When it comes to cultural influence few can say they’ve altered the United States quite like Matt Groening. Creator of a four-decade long show that first premiered as interstitials on “The Tracey Ullman” show in 1987 and somehow, through luck and timing became the longest running animated series, longest running sitcom and longest running primetime show in television history. And that’s not a good thing.
As always, I appreciate your insight on how media influences popular culture.
Great article as usual!
So sad. But it’s true. Great insight from the inside!
…amazing how many seemingly innocuous forms of entertainment in retrospect turn out to be insidious tools of propaganda!
