Simpson episode review

part 1:       The producers of the Simpsons did a great job portraying the 1920s. Although there were a few mistakes, the accuracies of the time outweighed the fictional comedy. Many of the things that they showed in the episode were accurate, such as the speakeasy, the Mafia controlled supply, and the FBI getting involved. They also protrayed people dancing to jazz music while drinking. Some of thhe things that they added were the people running around fighting people all the time, that people made their own alcohol, and that people of the country wanted prohibition to happen. I enjoyed the episode very much, due to the fact that although it portrayed the 1920s very well, it also had a lot of fictional comedy.

part 2:       I feel as though the producers should have shown a younger crowd at the bar, this would have shown how the younger generation was shocking the older ones. If they had an episode showing younger people drinking at the bar with girls dressed as flappers, they could have had older people walk in and act totally astonished. This would have greatly portrayed how the younger generation was drastically changing what was normally done.
