Children's TV shows generally have very iconic intro's with easily recognisable characters and catchy music, this makes it easy for children to recognise the TV show and they often have sing along sections. The Simpsons
The Simpsons is a longstanding tv series that has been running for quite some time, the series is mainly family viewing orientated with some of the cruder jokes only understandable by adults but also contains a lot of slapstick comedy that is easily understandable for younger children and many children watch it regularly. While the intro has changed a considerable amount, many of the key 'gags' and elements have been retained, if adapted and modernised slightly. This iconic intro contains the five characters the series revolves around; Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie. Some of the hugely famous gags within the intro change the punch-line but retain the core structure of the gag, for example; Bart is always shown to be in detention writing lines of what he will not do on the blackboard and the iconic couch gag, changes every single episode. Having researched into children's tv shows openings, while I decided a while ago on my idea being a music video, this has allowed me some insight into what it would involve and let me make an informed decision to not do a children's tv show opening.
