The most popular animated series, by state

#Animation #Cartoon #FamilyGuy #Sitcoms #RickandMorty #SouthPark #Archer #TheSimpsons
As The Simpsons heads into their 31st season—further cementing itself as the longest-running primetime scripted series in the US—the Data Team at All Home Connections thought it would be interesting to find out your state’s favorite animated sitcom. Using a list of the top 15 most popular animated sitcoms, our analysts then used Google Trends to identify the most popular shows by comparing those with the highest search volume in each state.

Take a look at our map to find out what your state’s favorite animated sitcom is and what other states like to watch across the country.

Interesting Findings

Here are some interesting findings that the data team came across when they started digging a little deeper into the results.

Colorado’s favorite animated sitcom is South Park. This could be because the town of Fairplay, Colorado is the childhood home of creator Matt Stone and the visual basis for the town of South Park.
Oregon and Massachusetts love The Simpsons, which might have something to do with the show’s creators Matt Groening and Mike Scully originally hailing from Portland, Oregon and Springfield, Massachusetts, respectively.
Connecticut loves Family Guy which, again, could be because the show’s creator, Seth MacFarlane, was born in CT.
While King of the Hill isn’t the most popular show in Texas—despite being set there—it is a hit with two Southern states, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Perhaps due to its long run, The Simpsons is by far the most popular animated sitcom across the US followed by South Park in second place.
While Rick and Morty didn’t rank high on this list given the criteria, it was among the most watched cable television series—animated or not—during its last season. So, it isn’t a stretch to imagine that the series will appear at the top of similar lists in the near future.

A Brief History of The Simpsons

You may not realize it, but The Simpsons premier on primetime television in 1989 marks several significant milestones in American animation—and TV history. Besides the numerous prestigious awards that the show has consistently received throughout its long run, the premier also marked a turning point in American attitudes toward cartoons written primarily for adult audiences.

Today, animated series are almost as common in primetime slots as traditional sitcoms and you’ll be hard pressed to find a TV fan that can’t name their favorite animated shows. Though you may not feel the same about The Simpsons as you once did, take a moment to consider that all of the series featured in this article are a testament to the show’s ongoing four-fingered legacy.

The Unique Benefits of Teletherapy.

#BlackTherapist #Teletherapy #Triple5LightTherapy.com #AfricanAmerican #Therapist b y Margarita Tartakovsky, M.S. Teletherapy is seen as an inferior alternative to in-person therapy. But while it has some drawbacks, online therapy has plenty of pluses, too. First the drawbacks: Some clients miss their therapist’s office, which they associate with safety and healing, said Jodi Aman , LCSW, a psychotherapist in Rochester, N.Y. Technical difficulties—from poor internet connections to visibility issues–can interrupt sessions. Finding a private, quiet space at home can be challenging. Still, many people prefer teletherapy. As psychologist Regine Galanti , Ph.D, pointed out, the biggest myth about teletherapy is that it’s “a plan B approach.” Many of Galanti’s clients have been doing online sessions for years. Her teen clients, in particular, like attending therapy in their own space. Teletherapy is also convenient. “[I]t removes time barriers for people to ...

12 Reasons Why Couples Break Up

#Couplestherapy #Arguments #Finances #DomesticViolence #BlackMaleTherapist #Triple5LightTherapy #AfricanAmericantherapist Whether it’s a relatively new relationship or a long-time marriage , breaking up is hard. Research published in the Journal of Family Psychology shows that breakups increase psychological distress and reduce life satisfaction. Often, the negative effects of a breakup can impact one’s mental health for months, even years, after the dissolution. After a relationship goes south, it’s important to take stock of what went wrong. This can be done by yourself or with the help of a therapist and it can prevent you from entering a similarly vulnerable situation in the future. It’s also important to orient yourself to the common things that lead to breakups. This can help normalize your own situation and perhaps steer you down a better path in the future. Remember, breaking up is a part of life: approximately half of first-time marriages end in di...

Beyoncé announced a Netflix documentary called “Homecoming” about her 2018 Coachella performance. But she had another surprise in store.Credit Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Coachella #Beyoncé #Homecoming #Documentary #Netflix #LiveAlbum When it comes to Beyoncé releases, there is usually an element of surprise. The singer — who perfected the secret album drop in 2013, and has since toyed with the tactic for releases like “Lemonade” and “Everything Is Love,” with her husband Jay-Z — did it again in the early morning hours Wednesday, one-upping the arrival of her own Netflix documentary, “Homecoming,” with a previously unannounced live-album version of the same concert. [Read our review of the Beyoncé documentary “Homecoming.”] Both the film and the album, also titled “Homecoming,” capture Beyoncé’s performance at last year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, in which the singer — the first black woman to headline the event — was backed by dozens of dancers and an ...

The Enduring Beauty Of Selena's Legacy

#Selena #Tejano #SelenaQuintanillaPerez By Ashley Monae Oct 10, 2017 rez. On March 31, 1995, the world was shaken by the untimely death of Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez. At just 23 years old, her career was skyrocketing toward crossover success. But just as she was settling into her fame, it was taken away in the blink of an eye when she was shot and tragically killed by a former fan club president. No one foresaw the harrowing ordeal, and the news arrived without warning. As a result, Selena, who was poised for pop culture phenomenon status, would unfortunately never witness her efforts and hard work fully materialize. Selena's legacy continues to shine two decades following her passing from her music to makeup lines and museums.
