What is The Simpsons about?

Created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company, The Simpsons showcases the exploits of the Simpson family who reside in the fictional town of Springfield. The family consists of parents Homer and Marge and their three children - Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. The show sheds major light on themes like American culture, society, and life in general.

According to Rotten Tomatoes, the synopsis of the show reads:

"This long-running animated comedy focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. The head of the Simpson family, Homer, is not a typical family man. A nuclear-plant employee, he does his best to lead his family but often finds that they are leading him."

It continues:

"The family includes loving, blue-haired matriarch Marge, troublemaking son Bart, overachieving daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. Other Springfield residents include the family's religious neighbor, Ned Flanders, family physician Dr. Hibbert, Moe the bartender and police chief Clancy Wiggum."

The show first premiered on December 17, 1989. Ever since then, it has been on the air, making it the longest-running American animated series, longest-running American sitcom, and the longest-running American scripted primetime television series in history. Since its debut, the series has bagged 35 Primetime Emmy Awards, 34 Annie Awards, and two Peabody Awards.
