case study

How does the audience of the simpsons also become the producer ?

My case study is based on three animated sitcoms, My three media texts are ; The Simpsons; Family Guy and Futurama. All three of my texts work across all three media platforms how ever there main media platform are broadcast and E-media. The Simpsons also have comics and now available to stream online aswell, How ever Futurama and Family guy dont really operate across print.

One way in which my three media texts allow me to agree with this statement is the increase of fan pages and forums which allow the fans to get there opinion across to the producers. This allows the producers of the sitcoms which type of humour, charecthers and themes the audience prefer. They also can get a better idea of there target market and what they like to see. This allows the audience to have an influence on the audience.

Another new and popular way of the audience getting there view acknowledged is by using youtube, Fans of the sitcoms upload videos of themselves expressing there views and commenting on what they liked about the sitcoms or what they disagree.
