Open Question: what do you guys think of this show?
this is my speech about the simpsons, that i just finished . i tried to ask on yahoo if i should do the simpsons or high school.. but no one really answered. i just wanted to know your opinion of the show and my speech!
What do Lisa Kudrow, Dr.Phil, LeBron James, Susan Sarandon, and Mr.T all have in common? They’ve all been guest stars in the longest running sitcom and animated television show in TV history, that show is “The Simpsons”. They first appeared as shorts in The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19, 1987.Creator Matt Groening, started out as a cartoonist by drawing a weekly comic strip for a set of regional newspapers. They featured a rabbit called Blinky, and detailed the dark side of life. One day, Matt got a call from James L Brooks (now co-producer of The Simpsons), who had seen his comic strip and wanted Matt to do some animation for the Tracey Ullman show - minute long cartoons, showing before and after commercials. Matt originally intended to use his other series, but at the last moment, realized that doing this would ruin the characters. Instead he chose another approach and created his version of a “dysfunctional family”. As he was not feeling particularly creative that day, he named the characters after his own family members: his dad Homer, his mom Margaret or Marge, his two sisters Lisa and Maggie, and substituting “Bart” for his own name. The initial appearance of the Simpson family were drawn poorly, Matt said this was due to the fact that he thought they were going to clean them up a little, but it turned out all they were doing was tracing over the drawings.
The Simpsons shorts on the “Tracey Ullman Show” were such a big hit, that in 1989 The Simpsons was made into a 30 minute television show. A Christmas Special entitled “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire”, premiered on the FOX broadcasting network on December 17, 1989.
The Simpsons was the FOX network’s first genuine hit television series, it was FOX’s first show that appeared in the top thirty highest rated shows of the season. Several episodes of the Simpsons have been watched by audiences exceeding 20 million viewers and sometimes even 30 million.
The family is made up of Homer Simpson, who is the man of the house, who is an overweight safety inspector at the towns power plant, and he often gives bad advice.
Marge Simpson is Homer’s wife and the lady of the house, she is a stay at home mother and she is the rational one who tries to keep peace in her crazy home. Bart Simpson is Homer and Marge’s 10 year old son, he’s always in trouble at school and at home. Lisa Simpson, is Bart’s little sister, she’s a free thinking 8 year old genuis who loves solving the worlds problems and plays the saxophone. Maggie is the youngest daughter of Homer and Marge, who sucks her pacifier while watching the rest of the family quarrel.
The series’ writers have had to defend some of the show’s crude humor. In the early stages, the show revolved around the young Bart Simpson’s trouble-causing antics, making it appeal to a younger crowd. Over the years, however, the writers, found viewers responded more to the clumsy American father figure Homer Simpson, and he became the show’s main character. Nowadays, episodes are not just based around The Simpson family. Episodes featuring supporting characters are very common, such as Hurricane Neddy, Worst Episode Ever, and 22 Short Films About Springfield featuring a host of supporting characters.
The show has received a lot of criticism. Former first lady Barbara Bush said in an interview appearing in “People Magazine” that The Simpsons was the dumbest thing she’s ever seen. In an episode soon after, Marge Simpson wrote Mrs. Bush a letter to give her a piece of her own mind. Surprisingly enough, Mrs. Bush responded them two weeks later with a letter asking for forgiveness for “a loose tongue”.
In Greenwood, S.C., parents protested against the decision of the school be named Springfield Elementary. That happened because the school council let the students pick the name of the school. The parents accused Bart Simpson to be a bad example for the youth and that the district should not honor the name of Bart’s school. The school council, who previously was not aware of the background of the school’s name, stayed with their decision.
The Simpsons also have a couple of good deeds on their name. A mother in Auburn, Washington, says that The Simpsons saved her son’s life. Her son, Alex, was choking on an orange, and his older brother, Chris, performed the Heimlich-maneuver. He removed the orange and Alex’s breathing was back to normal. There mother had said that he learned the Heimlich-maneuver by watching an episode of The Simpsons, when Homer was choking on a donut. Actually, the move was never performed, but Homer coughed it up while his friends were watching a poster projecting the steps of the maneuver.
Naturally, animated characters depend upon voices to help bring them to life, and The
i couldn’t fit the rest of my speech , lol so here is just the last part .. :
Nominated for Golden Globe, more than 98 wins & 109 nominations. Matt Groening has said that as long as there is someone or something to make fun of, Simpsons episodes will continue to be written. The Simpsons has been on our screens for more than 18 years, and still remains the best thing on television.
do you like the ending? or should i put something like : So if you think that the simpsons is the dumbest thing you’ve ever seen on TV, or that making this speech was a waste of my time and that you’d rather watch diferent show, why don’t you ” eat my shorts!” because i think the simpsons are “excellent!”
Resolved Question: can someone help me improve and check my essay?
please help me improve my essay!
the question is basicly to decribe the key features of the police force in the 19th centruy and stuff, and i pretty much have to explain how bad it was!
heres my essay:
At the start of the 19th century, the enforcement of law and order in England and Wales was the same as it had been during the Middle Ages. Before 1829, the streets of many British towns and cities were patrolled by watchmen and parish constables, who prevented disturbances and robberies. In 1750, law and order in London broke down completely during the Gordon riots.
London’s population had grown to 1.5 million, yet there were only 450 constables and 4,000 watchmen. The growth in population meant that the number of crimes committed increased. Law and order had to improve. ‘Bow Street Runners’ were appointed in London and the Thames river police were set up in 1800.
There were many problems with London’s police force. They lacked professionalism and whenever there was a serious problem the army had to be called in. The tactics they used were often inefficient and often caused more problems.
The need for a preventative police force was highlighted by the Peterloo Massacre in 1819 – whereby 50,000 people met at St Peter’s Fields in Manchester to hear Henry Hunt speak in favor of the reform of Parliament. The Manchester magistrates panicked at the sight of the crowd and ordered special constables to arrest Henry Hunt. The constables were trapped inside the crowd. They began to lash out with their swords, and finally called on regular army units - which cleared the area within a matter of minutes. The incident showed just how badly trained the police were. The fact that they panicked and began to use their swords highlighted their poor training and immature behavior when put under pressure.
Also, the growth in homicide, robbery, theft and burglary were all increasing with the advent of the Industrial Revolution.
In 1829, the Home Secretary, Sir Robert Peel, set up the Metropolitan Police Force. The act set up a force of 3,200 men to cover an area extending 7 miles from the centre of London. There were 17 divisions, each with four inspectors and 144 constables. The policemen were known as ‘Peelers’ or ‘Bobbies’ after Robert Peel.
The metropolitan police force was given a blue uniform, with a tail-coat, a top hat, and as few badges and decorations as possible. All of these served to make it as distinct as possible from the army. They were unarmed except from truncheons – however from the 1840s and 1850s, inspectors in the police force began to carry revolvers at all times.
The metropolitan police force was set up to carry out the functions of both he watchmen and special constables. Their duties were to patrol the streets in order to keep order and deter crime, but were also used to tackle major disturbances such as riots.
There were many problems at first. On many occasions the force had to be backed up by the army, and there were frequent death of demonstrators. Most early recruits were unsuitable due to drunkenness and either resigned or were sacked.
Another problem was that the police force was highly unpopular. Many people - rich and poor alike – hated the police, they thought they were pointless and they did not like being told what to do by somebody in uniform. It was also unpopular because of its methods of crowd control. The most common tactic was the baton charge – in 1833 a constable was killed during the riot. The event showed how unorganised the police were.
A third example of the problems the new police force had was that the metropolitan police force was not copied anywhere else in Britain. Also, Peels police force reforms were only applied to London, law and order did not really change in the rest of Britain.
There were many successful developments in police work during the 19th century. In 1842, the Metropolitan Police developed a Detective Department. The department had two inspectors and six sergeants. When this department first started the use of detectives was under great suspicion and opposition. The public was concerned that plain clothes-men could not be identified, and the home office was concerned detectives would become too friendly with the criminals.
In 1869 the National Criminal Record was set up to deal with the most notorious criminals, and in 1877 a Criminal Investigations Department (CID) was established with 200 detectives increasing to 800 by 1883.
In 1879 the Detective Department introduced its first set of rules and regulations to establish the department’s ideas of professionalism for instructions in dealing with murder cases. For example, ordering investigating officers, “the body must not be moved, or anything about the body or anything in the room or area, and the public must be excluded.”
Forensic progress was also made during this time. A great example of this was in 1884 when John Tomms was convicted of murder because the po

okay so i have used alot of my history book for this essay im supposed to write, i think it needs to be re-worded and trimmed down a bit because i dont think i need that much!
please help!
heres the extract:
There were also many successful developments in the 19th century. In 1842, a detective department was created within the Metropolitan police. There were two inspectors and six sergeants. There was great suspicion and opposition at first to the use of detectives. The public was concern that plain clothed policemen could not be identified, and the home office was concerned that detectives would become too friendly with criminals.
They also pursued an idea of identifying criminal ‘types’ from the shape of their head.
In 1869 the National Criminal Record was set up; it dealt with only the most notorious criminals. In 1877 a criminal investigations department (CID) was set up with 200 detectives: this increased to 800 in 1883.
In 1879, the detective department introduced its first set of rules, and it developed its ideas. It showed that they were finally developing some sort of professionalism as instructions for dealing with murder cases ordered investigating officers that ‘the body must not be moved, nor anything about it or in the room/place interfered with, and the public must be excluded’
Detective methods started to develop, but very slowly, and new techniques were realised in the 19th century. Overall, the nature of the police work was much improved from 1850-1902.
Some forensic progress was also made. A great example of this was in 1884; when John Tomms was convicted of murder because the torn paper used for his pistol wadding matched the paper recovered from the wound in the head of his victim. The first conviction using fingerprints was in June 1902, and the first police photographer was appointed in 1901. Small, but successful steps were being taken and much progress was being made.
