The little guide to the Simpsons

Categories:

8.99

The Simpsons, Matt Groening’s animated sitcom, is arguably the greatest show in TV history. To its critics, the dysfunctional family embodies the decline of wholesome values. To its fans, the show provides a window into America’s soul, with each new season seeing the Simpsons spiral into ever-increasing levels of craziness, reflecting the nation’s blurring of parody with reality.

For more than 30 years, and across nearly 750 episodes, an entire generation has been shaped by some of the most influential and memorable characters on TV: Homer, the classic, middle-class anti-hero; Bart, the lovable brat eternally trapped inside the body of a 10-year-old who questions everything; Lisa, talented and gifted, the voice of reason prepared to stand up and make herself heard; and Marg, overworked and underappreciated, with endless amounts of forgiveness for Homer.

It may only be a cartoon on the surface, but The Simpsons resonates with viewers on a much deeper level. Offering charm, humor, and life lessons, it’s perfect TV that has stood the test of time.

“Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They’re about to announce the lottery numbers.”
Homer Simpson

In 1998, the 10 year-old Bart Simpson was named as one of the ‘Most Influential People Of The Century’ by TIME Magazine.
