Many different television genres in US such as soap operas and sitcoms which their emergence dated back to 1950s, have specified their topics to REPRESENTATION of family relations, dilemmas and problems.Leisure time and CONSUMPTION patterns in a consumer society could be important in a sense that family relation, the way of choosing those patterns and their REPRESENTATION, could clarify the form and types of family relations in United States. Generally, understanding a family could be taken as a small piece of the greater society. The subject of study in this article is THE SIMPSONS SITUATION COMEDY. This famous situation comedies’ reputation has surpassed many cultural borders dates back to 1980s. As this sitcom is about American everyday life has absorbed many American and non-American viewers.

How THE SIMPSONS family spend their LEISURE TIME collectively.The theoretical base of this article is Stuart Hall's theory of REPRESENTATION and the method is SEMIOLOGY.
