Simpsons: Episodes
built 607 days ago
The Simpsons are a typical family who live in a fictional "Middle American" town of Springfield.[46] Homer, the father, works as a safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant—a position at odds with his careless, buffoonish personality. He is married to Marge Simpson, a stereotypical American housewife and mother. They have three children: Bart, a ten-year-old troublemaker; Lisa, a precocious eight-year-old activist; and Maggie, a baby who rarely speaks, but communicates by sucking on a pacifier. The family owns a dog, Santa's Little Helper, and a cat, Snowball II. Both pets have had starring roles in several episodes. Despite the passing of yearly milestones such as holidays or birthdays, the Simpsons do not physically age and still appear just as they did at the end of the 1980s.

Al Jean (left) is the current executive producer of the show and David Mirkin (right) is a former executive producer and has been a part of the writing staff since 1994. On February 9, 1997, The Simpsons surpassed The Flintstones with the episode "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" as the longest-running prime-time animated series in the United States. In 2004, The Simpsons replaced The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (1952 to 1966) as the longest-running sitcom (animated or live action) in the United States.[4] In October 2004, Scooby-Doo briefly overtook The Simpsons as the American animated show with the highest number of episodes.[97] However, network executives in April 2005 again cancelled Scooby-Doo, which finished with 371 episodes, and The Simpsons reclaimed the title with 378 episodes at the end of their seventeenth season.[5] In May 2007, The Simpsons reached their 400th episode at the end of the eighteenth season. While The Simpsons has the record for the number of episodes by an American animated show, other animated series have surpassed The Simpsons.[98] For example, the Japanese anime series Sazae-san has close to 2,000 episodes to its credit.[98]
After 16 years and over 300 episodes, The Simpsons has covered just about everything to do with culture, politics, sociology and even philosophy. One area that has been of particular interest is religion.
In a Grammy acceptance speech earlier this year, Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks quoted Nelson from The Simpsons ("HA ha!"). Now she and her bandmates are becoming even more animated: They recorded a guest spot last month for the Fox comedy. The story line involves the return of country singer Lurleen Lumpkin (Beverly D'Angelo), who is reunited with her father. Alas, her father swipes one of Lurleen's songs and sells it to the trio. When the Chicks find out about his scam, well, let's just say they're not ready to play nice. The episode is slated to air in the spring.
