Learning History Through The Simpsons?

Strange as this may seem, but it might just be possible to learn some history from the Simpsons. Though there was many fallacies in the episode, i believe that the historical aspects out weighed the fake made up things. The episode brought up factual points such as that societywas going down hill will the excess in drinking, that violence, crime, and prostitution was increasing. The Simpsons also were accurate in that Prohibition caused an outrage amongst people and that drinking actually increased. Lastly, the episode brought up speakeasies and bootleggers, both of which are historically accurate. Though the episode was good, it was not all accurate. The episode made up facts such as Prohibition already being in place, a catalpulte used in punishment, liquor transferred by secret bowling ball lanes, and excessive home made liquor explosions. I believe that despite the inaccurate points the episode was still enjoyable and some what educational.
If I were to add a scene to the episode to the Simpsons, I would probably add a scene in which the police are bought over. I think that it is important to note that the police were bought over by people so that they could drink. In the episode the police cared greatly about drinking where in history the police knew it was happening and were bribed so therefore they didn't care.
