Can someone translate this??
Can someone tell me what this means:
Josh Oszersky(1996) argues that “the fundamentally hopeless” picture The Simpsons presents “commits us to a shared vision of pessimism and self-deprecation.”
Its saying that The Simpsons does something to us.. and that something I do not understand.

Yes, it's saying that people are influenced by what they see in the programme. In my opinion, it's a bit of an overstatement - I don't think one television programme "commits" anyone to anything, but it's common for someone arguing a case to make bold statements and exaggerated claims. Cheers John.
