The Simpsons: Series
built 152 days ago
According to Kraft, "The Simpsons" is one of the few television shows still scored with live musicians, which is what creates the "three-dimensionality" of the series - most shows now use synthesized music. But Clausen, the ultimate professional, knows first hand what it takes to write and record a new score every week. Yet, what ... makes it worthwhile for him is the privilege to work with some of the finest musicians in the industry, who rarely need more than two takes to record a final track.

Now the longest-running prime-time animated series in television history, The Simpsons has changed the face of the medium forever. Award-winning and critically acclaimed, the series delivers solid messages about family, society and the environment, without sacrificing the social and political satire or edgy humor for which it is heralded.

The Simpsons is the TV equivalent of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (once parodied in the opening "couch gag"). After it came along, nothing was the same, and it established a generation's cultural references and sensibility. (Is there any situation without a suitable Simpsons quote?) Starting out as a family cartoon, it grew a cast of hundreds that spanned celebrity (Ranier Wolfcastle), religion (the de-diddly-vout Flanders family), business (C. Montgomery Burns) and immigration (Apu). But maybe its best and favorite subject has been television itself—"Teacher, mother, secret lover!"—which it has lampooned through Krusty the Clown, Kent Brockman and the Laramie Cigarette sponsorship of Radioactive Man. It even embodies its own critique in the person of crabby superfan Comic Book Guy, but for all the long-lived series' ups and downs, it remains the Best. TV Show.

The Simpsons refers to a time period in the early to mid 90s during which a cartoon series was actually the greatest television show in production. Most scientists agree that this era began around 1992 and ended at the beginning of the 21st century when more serious programming took over this mantle. The show centered around a family, who.... it was pretty boring, actually.

The Simpsons first appeared as a series of shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show. After three seasons, they became so popular they earned their own 30-minute television show. Over the years The Simpsons has become more than a crudely animated sitcom, but a truly American satire and parody of American culture. This wiki is dedicated to them.
