Yes it is unbelievable that one animated family will have so much influence on our lives, but yes, The Simpsons did it. On Sunday, May 20 Fox will air the show’s 400 episode, which will make it the longest-running comedy, in terms of years, in TV history. Matt Groening, creator of the 20 year old show said to Reuters that:
There’s never been any one single kind of comedy we’ve tried to do over and over. We do everything from huge physical gags to cameo appearances by Gore Vidal. And I hear all of the stuff about the quality having slipped, but I think the show has never been smarter or better animated than it has in the last few seasons.
The Simpsons started it’s life onscreen as a series of one minute shorts on The Tracy Ullman Show, before they got their spot in prime time television. And I just can’t wait for the movie that will come out this summer.
