"The Simpsons" is the longest animated series in the history of American television, lasting 29 seasons and extended to the 30th.
This saturated satire (including social) show makes fun of many cliches and stereotypes, in particular, the style of life of the "average American", features of world cultures in general, celebrities and even the television and the television channel "Fox"; Do not hesitate to touch on such slippery issues as politics and religion.
''Time'' magazine in 1998 called "Simpsons" the best television series of the 20th century.
The idea of the series was overshadowed by Matt Groening, when he went to the office of James Brooks to offer a series of short animation works.
At that time he was known as the author of the popular comics "Life in Hell" and was going to offer them exactly, but in the end changed his mind so as not to lose the rights to comics.
He needed something new, and then he hastily sketched out the plan of the series about the life of the American family. Groening called the characters in honor of members of his own family and made them yellow, to distinguish among the rest.
The Simpsons family in cartoon form first appeared with the first series "Good night" on April 19, 1987 in the "Tracey Ullman Show" (a weekly show with comic and musical numbers, which was shown on the FOX channel from April 1987 to May 1990).
In the beginning, the characters were painted fairly roughly, since Groening did not have enough time to paint them well, and the animators only copied his sketches. The mini-series (lasting about two minutes) was aired on FOX for three seasons.
In 1989, the Simpsons moved to the "own" series, broadcast by FOX Network as a weekly show. The first full-length series shown was "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire".
"The Simpsons" was the first real hit FOX Network, it was the first show of the company FOX, which appeared in the top 30 of the best programs of the season.
February 9, 1997 "The Simpsons" surpassed the "Flintstones" as the longest-running animated series in America.
