What Parents Need to Know
About The Simpsons
Parents need to know that the jokes in this long-running favorite often zip past so quickly that kids won't get the deeper statements that lie therein. Life in Springfield can be chaotic, and Homer could very well be the "do not try this at home" poster boy. Beer is consumed in every episode, bad habits are obliged, and ignorance and mockery are the norm, but somehow, everyone gets along in the end.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how different cartoon life and reality are. What does responsibility mean? Would Homer and Bart get away with their antics in the real world? How are women portrayed? How do the Simpsons show each other their true feelings? When all is said and done, are they a happy family or a contentious one?

10+ is good.
It's an OK show. But it's really not as bad as you probobly think it is. Rarely do they ever say swear words. It's not that bad. Good show though. It's just getting to old.

Good show, but iffy for less-mature kids.(especially boys, who might use some lewd refrences at school.)
I'm pretty mature (I'v seen Animal House, and own the M-rated video games Call of Duty4, Halo3, and Assassin's Creed)The simpsons is iffy, without a doubt. But, for a boy/girl who understands sex and violence and drugs it can be funny, and even have a positive message (sometimes), likein the episode where they portray anti-homosexuals as idiots.(Homer thinks Bart is gay, and he freaks when he finds out, and the iron smiths, and the buff gym members are gay, and it turns out that Bart is not.)However, boys/girls who don't get it (sex) might get a little... confused and think that sex is cool, and he should talk about to make himself seem cool.They drink heavily (espicially Homer), and have a few not-so-bad swears.
