Matthew A. Henry offers the first comprehensive understanding of the show as a satire and explores the ways in which The Simpsons participates in the so-called "culture war" debates taking place in American society. Situating The Simpsons within the framework of satirical humor in American media, the tradition of the nuclear family sitcom, and the history of the Fox Television network, this book explores American culture thematically, examining how the show satirically engages with issues of race and ethnicity, national identity, gender and sexuality, social and economic class, and religion--Publisher description. 630 00 Simpsons (Television program)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n91098698 630 7 Simpsons (Television program)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1376981 630 07 Simpsons (Television program)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1376981 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 21st century|2fast 650 7 Civilization.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/862898 651 0 United States|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n78095330|vHumor.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh99001253 651 0 United States|xCivilization|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85139942 651 0 United States|xCivilization|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85139934|y21st century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012478 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 7 Satirical literature.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/genreForms/gf2014026525 655 7 Satirical literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1922539 655 7 Humor.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423696 655 7 Humor.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/ gf2014026110 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 600236 948 |d20141002|cMH|tcheck 650sadd 520|lridm|v1|xcan't add to pcc record 994 C0|bRID
