About The Simpsons
The American animated sitcom The Simpsons first aired on Fox in 1989. Created by Matt Groening, the show is a satirical take on American life and culture, focusing on the daily adventures and misadventures of the Simpson family: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. Set in the fictional town of Springfield, the show offers a humorous caricature of society, television, and the human condition. The series originated as a series of animated shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987, before being developed into a half-hour prime time show. The show has become the longest-running American animated series, sitcom, and scripted primetime television series, with 760 episodes broadcast to date. The success of the show led to the release of The Simpsons Movie in 2007, which was both critically and commercially successful. The show has also inspired various comic book series, video games, and a billion-dollar merchandising industry. A joint production of Gracie Films and 20th Television, The Simpsons has left a lasting impact on popular culture, becoming one of the most iconic and influential animated series in television history.
