Synopsis by Michael Hastings

Premiering with a full-length animated Christmas special in 1989, The Simpsons went on to become one of the most daring network television series of the 1990s, skewering pop culture, politics, and society in general at every opportunity. Anchored by the tales of its five-member, four-fingered, dysfunctional nuclear family, the series grew to provide more and more story lines for its wealth of rich supporting characters.
