Simpsons Episode

The Simpson's episode had a lot of facts about the 1920's. It was correct about many things. Some things I thought might even be accurate that I was not sure about. There was only a couple things that were not accurate. Overall though, I think that This Simpson's episode did a good job outweighing the correct things with the inaccurate things. The episode was really good, and will help me remember certain things about the 1920's. The speakeasies and mob activities were portrayed very well throughout the episode.
The one scene that would need to be changed to get rid of almost all of the fictional stuff is the way they came upon the prohibition law. If i was making this scene I would have had all of the committee sitting around each other to discuss the prohibition law rather than women force the men into doing it. The women did not have much say in the 1920's so this was inaccurate. Also, I would have had them made the men all decide to put it in as an amendment rather than finding it as a law that already existed. The punishment would also not be to be flung off in a catapult. That was just added for comedic reasons.
