Including primary audience research, it focuses on howThe Simpsonshas been able to talk back to three of television''s key genres - the sitcom, adverts and the news - and on how it holds the potential to short-circuit these genre''s meanings, power, and effects by provoking reinterpretations and offering more media literate recontextualizations.Examining television and media studies theory, the text ofThe Simpsons, and the show''s audience, Gray attempts to fully situate the show''s parody and humour within the lived realities of its audiences. In doing so, he further explores the possibilities for popular entertainment television to discuss issues of political and social importance.A must read for any student of media studies.
