Pros

  • The Simpsons, Family Guy or American Dad are really easy to understand.
  • With that mind I do think it's a nice way to make immersion entertaining, I'd particularly recommend the Simpsons which had a great impact on mexican culture.
  • It sounds silly, but watch a show you’re familiar with in German. For me it was The Simpsons.
  • Dan was a huge part of *The Simpsons* Golden Era in Seasons 4-6.
  • Individual episodes of The Simpsons or The Good Place might also be worthy of looking into.

Cons

  • The Simpsons, for example, there is a French Canadian version. It is much more accurate than the French from France version. The North American reality is missing in the FF, even has consequently mistakes concerning for example Baseball,...
  • I remember several friends growing up who were completely banned from watching The Simpsons because it was too scandalous. Even at the time it just seemed wild to me that parents would ban such a tame show.
  • His appearance in the Simpsons was so cringey even at the time

The only show that has ever even come close to this level of comedic wit is the first 6 or so seasons of The Simpsons imo.

The best memories of my family are watching The Simpsons together on Sunday nights. It was probably the only time in the week when we were all doing the same thing together.
