Simpsons

As the clouds part from the blue sky and the the title of the show appears you start to see actions by charactors that are familiar to almost all of the United States. Bart, Homer, Marge, Maggie and Lisa, these are the charactors of possibly the funniest show to ever air on television. The Simpson can be describes in one word, great. These charactors thoughts and actions add to the comedy of this show. A family of a husband, wife and three children is something that everyone can relate to. The episode where Marge becomes a reble shows the comedic preformance, the relation of family, and how these charactors interact unlike any charactors in other shows on television.
I loved the part in the show where Marge was talking about the ballet and Homer got excited because he thought he was going to the circus. I thought it was funny how an image of a bear in a car poped into his head. Homer is sadly mistaken, when Marge and Lisa tell Homer about the ballet he becomes dissapointed. Later in that episond Homer tells his friends he has to go to the ballet and they also think that he is going to see the bear in the car.
While Homer is walking with his frieds something else happens that is funny. Homer sees a couple of vending machines and wants a pop but he has no money. Homer then decides to stick his hand up in the vending machine, not realizing that all he had to do was let go of the can,he calls for help and the emergency crew are ready to take Homers arm off, just then someone in the background says,"Homer are you still holding on to the can. Homer lets go of the can and as he walks away all you can hear is the laughter of the EMS crew.
Another thing I liked about this episode is that they turn a sweet housewife into a rebel. Marge and her new found friend go on a high speed police chase and end up almost going over a cliff. It is funny how her charactor changes so much just because she normally has no friends.

Great opening section, really sets the mood for the show and the essay itself.

You've got the reasons why you like the particular episode very clear. You use the word "comedic performance" in the paragraph you use to support that you describe to us what happened, but you don't comment on what about that scene makes it a good comedic performance. You want to make sure you are commenting on and clearly tying your evidence into your thesis.
