DESCRIPTION: (from FOX's press release, May 2013) Entering into its milestone 25th season this fall, THE SIMPSONS continues to strike a chord with viewers for irreverently poking fun at anything and everything. As the longest-running scripted series in television history, THE SIMPSONS has become one of the most consistently groundbreaking, innovative and recognizable entertainment franchises throughout the world. With its subversive humor and delightful wit, the series has made an indelible imprint on American pop culture, and the family members, HOMER, MARGE, BART, LISA and MAGGIE, are television icons. The Simpsons reside in the town of Springfield.

The critically praised series has been best owed with numerous honors, including a Peabody Award, 27 Emmy Awards, 29 AnnieAwards, five Genesis Awards and seven Environmental Media Awards. THE SIMPSONS has been the subject of a hit feature film; created the Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios; received a Star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame; was honored with five U.S. postal stamps personally designed by Matt Groening; was named the "BestShow of the 20th Century" by Time Magazine; and, most recently, was named the best sitcom of the past 30 years by Vulture.com. In the upcoming season, America's favorite family continues to entertain viewers with their wild and outlandish adventures, including Homer selling his Apple stock to buy a bowling ball; Marge blaming herself and the music of KISS for Bart's rebellious streak; Lisa getting recruited as a cheerleader for the local pro football team; and Homer delivering a baby.
