The Simpsons is a cult animated series created by Matt Groening in 1989, following the Simpson family in the fictional town of Springfield. The show revolves around Homer, a clumsy and food-loving father working at the nuclear plant, Marge, a devoted mother with an iconic hairstyle, Bart, a mischievous prankster, Lisa, an intellectual and justice-driven girl, and Maggie, the silent but observant baby. Through sharp satire of American society, the series tackles themes like politics, pop culture, and family dynamics with irreverent humor and iconic references. With its critical tone and timeless comedy, The Simpsons has become one of the most influential and longest-running shows in television history.
