Your Favourite Cartoon Family
March 11th 2010 21:30
It's not an easy question. Is it?
Your first response (like mine) could well have been The Simpsons but then others that spring to mind include The Jetsons, The Flintstones or The Griffins from The Family Guy.
No matter who is atop your list they all allow us to stroll through depictions of suburban life (some in the present, some in the past and some in the future) and are actually more telling than appears from first glance.
And what do they all say about us?
Well, since the caricatures really highlight a lot of the non sensicle things we assume to be true on a daily basis, it's amazing how producers bundle the conundrum into some sort of uplifting and entertaining televison package - which to my eyes is pure genius.
There will always be a new cartoon family coming up on the horizon to show us ourselves - but for now - who is your favourite?
