What is The Simpsons?

The Simpsons is an American animated comedy show created by Matt Groening. It's about a working-class family living in the fictional town of Springfield. The main characters are Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. The show often makes fun of American life, society, and television itself. It's known for its clever humor, memorable characters, and ability to predict future events in a funny way.

The First Full Season

Before Season 1, The Simpsons actually started as short cartoons on another show called The Tracey Ullman Show. These shorts were very popular, so the Fox network decided to give the family their own full-length series. Season 1 was a big step, as it was the first time viewers got to see longer stories and get to know the characters much better. The show quickly became a cultural phenomenon, meaning lots of people watched it and talked about it.
