Simpsons Prohibition

   The producers of the Simpsons did a great job in portraying the 1920's/Prohibition in Springfield.  They got many things accurate while also adding comedy in there. Some things that they producers were accurate about were theat more people were drinking because of Prohibiton, the speakeasies and bootlegging, and there was a lot of violence.  They had many funny scenes, which was awesome, but the accuracies still outweighed the fictional comedy. I personally enjoyed this episode and it helped me get a better understanding of what went on during these times in 1920.

   However, the producers could of also made some scenes more historically accurate.  One scene in the episode I thought they could have changed was the way they handled people if they got caught. In the show they would caterpolt people far away.  In reality, people would have gotten hanged if they were caught.  This was a very serious matter so I think they should have approached it more seriously instead of in a comical manner.  This was one scene that I would have edited.
