Sitcom: the Simpsons by ric gustafson
The success of the Simpsons has been remarkable for two reasons. First, the show is the longest running sitcom on television and second how consistently funny it remains.
The sitcom began as a short on the Tracy Ullman Show which was on Fox from 1987 to 1990. The characters were the creation of cartoonist Matt Groening. The early episodes showed the husband Homer neglecting his wife Marge and his struggles with his son Bart.
When the show debuted on Fox in 1989, the network was a floundering fourth place network. The popularity of the show has led to the success of other animated shows such as South Park, Beavis and Butthead, Family Guy and King of the Hill.
The Simpsons has become a television institution like Saturday Night before it.
