ABSTRACT  \nThe Simpson is considered as the best sitcom of the last century. However, if we talk about education this show is badly assess. The Simpson is an adult show, but as a teacher, I believe that it has a huge potential for the teaching-learning process. The use of this show in English, the children motivation with cartoons and the benefits that this has, it would allow work the learning of English at the same time they are entertained. This sitcom has visual violence but this is a necessary aspect; to try to eradicate. Moreover it is possible knowing and learning literature with this TV show due to the big amount of intertextuality in the show. There are chapters that are incredible parodies of books or films. We as teachers have to approach these characteristics to make the teaching-learning process easier for our students.  \nKey-word: The Simpsons, violence, English teaching, literature, media.  \n2.
