Synopsis

From animated cartoon shorts to full-length episodes, “The Simpsons” has entertained, enlightened, and embiggened the world for more than twenty years. No television program has managed to satirize society, impact popular culture, nurture the imaginations of multiple generations, rewrite the rules of scripted comedy, inflame sentiments, cross the proverbial line, enrage its critics, embrace morality, reflect humanity, become an international phenomenon, and just plain make people laugh quite like “The Simpsons,” and there is no end in sight for this historic  series.
