The Simpsons
Just a product of society that's lost its good manners.
Created by Matt Groening
On FOX
A long-running satirical sitcom built on the dysfunctional warmth of a nuclear family and the irreverent parody of American institutions, sustained across 803 episodes by episodic reset and affectionate humor.
Set in Springfield, the average American town, the show focuses on the antics and everyday adventures of the Simpson family; Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, as well as a virtual cast of thousands. Since the beginning, the series has been a pop culture icon, attracting hundreds of celebrities to guest star. The show has also made name for itself in its fearless satirical take on politics, media and American life in general.
