THE SIMPSONS
s an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Network. It became one of the first hits for the network, and is one of the most successful and critically acclaimed television shows in the history of the medium. The television series is a spin-off of a series of animated shorts originally aired on The Tracey Ullman Show.
The series is a satirical parody of the "Middle American" lifestyle epitomized by its title family. It lampoons many aspects of the human condition, as well as American culture, society as a whole and even television itself, being famous for its frequent use of self-referential humor, and meta-references. The Simpsons itself has had an impact on popular culture. Catchphrases have been used in real life and the annoyed grunt d'oh has been accepted into the English dictionary. The show has been cited as an influence on many adult-oriented animated series in the late 1990s, such as King of the Hill, South Park and Family Guy.[1][2]
The Simpsons is the longest-running American sitcom, as well as the longest-running American animated program, to date.[2] Since it debuted on December 17, 1989, the show has aired 385 episodes (see list of episodes) in eighteen seasons. As of March 20, 2006, the show has been renewed through its nineteenth season, which would air in 2007–2008.[3] The eighteenth-season finale will be the 400th episode, and the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons franchise will be celebrated in 2007. A feature-length movie is currently being produced, to be released on July 27, 2007.[4]

i would say arrested development, but that was cancelled. I think always sunny in philadelphia is hilarious, but it may be a bit too raunchy for most people. The american version of the office is great and probably very widely appreciated. There aren't many sitcoms out anymore with the rise in reality television. Many of the memorable ones have ended like Friends and Everybody love Raymond. I think the office has a large audience and it has lots of comedy but with a great story attached to it.
