Are Star Wars and The Simpsons the most famous Movies/TV Show of the 20th Century?

[FléauDeDieu]

I was mulling over it recently and I can't think of a more famous Movie Franchise or Television Franchise from the 20th century.
I know there have been more critically acclaimed films released than Star Wars and the Simpsons went steadily downhill after season 10, but the two seem to almost have a mythological place within pop culture.
It feels like, in a 1000 years time, Star Wars will be spoken about in the same way we talk about The Iliad, and the Simpsons will be studied in the same we study Shakespeare. (And probably already are)

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Probably.

 

[Osculater]

Yes, they are tragic sagas for sure

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

Star wars - maybe. prob would be something like Citizen Kane or Wizard of Oz or Rocky IV tho.

Simpsons - f no. Not even close.

Why do they look Korean in that Star Wars poster?

 

[roganisonly5foot3]

I love the Simpsons, always have. I still think the new episodes are usually pretty funny. I’ve not seen any of Star Wars movies though and don’t really plan on it

They had previously fought Ivan Drago.

Lol. Also why does the death star look like a disco ball with a peace sign on it?

It was the 70's

This guy beats both.

Well yeah, but it's the f'ing Death Star. It's kind of the opposite of a peace symbol disco ball.

Vader: Admiral Ozzel, I need a full status report on the Death Star weapons systems.
Ozzel: Peace, love and granola, jive turkey! everything copacetic?
Vader: I won't ask again Admiral!
Ozzel: Slap me some skin, closet disco queen and keep on truckin'!.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Simpsons stopped being good

This guy beats both.

Ya. His shows and movies were the stuff of legends.

Probably Good Times or the Jeffersons. I hear they love black people over in China.

At the risk of going outer space on you, it may be Star Wars movies and Star Trek TV series with all the spinoffs. Critics would say Lucy, All in the Family, MASH or MTM, but for most famous in TV it would be tough to top Gene Roddenberry.
