The Simpsons follows the Simpson family — Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie — through the everyday adventures of Springfield, a fictional American town. Created by Matt Groening for Fox, the series is a satirical portrait of American life, skewering politics, media, and Western culture through the lens of one chaotic household. Taste signals here run toward animated comedies that mock culture, ensemble sitcoms built on warm dysfunction, and stories that find friction between American ideals and American reality.
