Audience Task - The Simpsons

Audience Task - The Simpsons 

The target audience for the TV program The Simpsons is primarily children aged 8 -- 14 of both genders.However, as The Simpsons covers a wide variety of family issues and jokes, the audience is much wider than first anticipated. Furthermore, the audience is in fact from the age of 8 to around 40 years old. As The Simpsons only involves characters of the working class, the audience is primarily just that; the working class. All ages and the working class can relate to this TV program due to the character diversity. The Simpsons meets only two uses and gratifications, the first of which is entertainment and escapism. By this i mean that this TV program is funny and the audience can use it to escape from the real world. The second gratification is social integration; finding a basis of conversation.
The Simpsons was construed by hand-drawn animation until its fourteenth season, since then it has been created by digital colouring.
