Happy 20th Anniversary to "The Simpsons"
The Simpsons is celebrating its 20th anniversary this week and as a fan since childhood (I even had a Lisa Simpson lunch box, LOL) it's heartening to see that after all these years The Simpsons show is still great. I could not say I have seen every episode--as an adult there are seasons I've completely missed--but whenever I get the chance to watch... it still makes me laugh like it used to. So here's to more of the snarky, irreverent, politically incorrect show that is The Simpsons.
From Google News:
LOS ANGELES — America's most famous dysfunctional cartoon family, The Simpsons, this week marks two decades of making the world laugh while offering alternative television therapy to millions of fans.
The now distinctive yellow characters of Homer, Maggie and their children, the intellectually-challenged Bart, his smart sister Lisa and pacifier-sucking baby Maggie first burst onto American TV screens on December 17, 1989.
Over the past 20 years, they have entered into the national and global consciousness as an icon of television entertainment.
Premiered on the then fledgling Fox channel as a half-hour Christmas special on December 17, 1989 and then as a regular series from January 14, 1990, the success of the Simpsons is a TV legend. Today it is broadcast in 45 languages.
