Simpsons

 The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom that is created by Matt Groening who used to work for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The animated series is actually a satirical depiction of middle-class (i.e. working-class) life. The Simpson family consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. The story of each episode takes place at an imaginary town called Springfield. That town actually is a parody of American culture and society. Groening created this utopic family and he named them after his own family members. Bart in the Simpson family represents Groening himself. At first, The Simpsons was a part of The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987. After almost three seasons, it was developed into a 30-minute prime time show and became much more popular. It is considered as the longest-running sitcom in American media history. It was followed by The Simpsons Movie, a feature-length film released in 2007. The movie grossed over 527 million dollars. The movie was aiming to create the awareness on global warming and pollution. Soon after in October30, 2007, a video game was released. Today, The Simpsons is on its thirtieth season which began in September, 2018. However, the first nine or ten seasons were considered its “Golden Age”. Time named it as the 20th century best television series. The Simpsons was also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Apart from the star, it has won dozens of awards since it debuted as series. It has influenced millions of people around the world. However, it is a fact that it has declined its quality over the last years.
