Prohibition

For the episode the producers of the Simpsons did for their show, it was pretty good.  They got a lot of the details and things that were going on during the war quite accurate.  For example, the speakeasies, mobs and gangs, and the corrupt police that didn't follow the law.  Speakeasies are secrets bars that people would go to for alcohol and a good time.  They portrayed the mobs and gangs very well because they showed how they were beginning to basically run the town of Springfield with alcohol and other things.  As for the corrupt police, they would go to the speakeasies and drink and have a great time, but this made them corrupt because they were supposed to be enforcing this law, not allowing it. Over all, the producers made a great episode that was quite accurate with the actual event that took place.

I feel like the scene with the catapult was unnecessary for the episode, mainly because of how innaccurate it was with the actual events of Prohibition.  If I could change this scene I would edit it so it was an actual punishment with the times.  Of course, I would still have it so Homer could get out because he's the best.
