The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series is a satirical portrait of the lifestyle of people living in the heartland of America, showing the lives of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. Set in the fictional town of Springfield, The Simpsons humorously satirizes American culture and society, the human condition and television itself from many angles. Matt Groening conceived the image of the Simpsons family in order to create an animated short for producer James L. Brooks. Groening named them after his own family members, replacing his own name with "Bart". On April 19, 1987, the short became part of The Tracy Ullman Show. After three seasons, The Simpsons was converted to a half-hour prime-time series and became one of Fox's early successes. The 400th episode of the animated series was aired on May 20, 2007, the 20th anniversary of the show. The Simpsons Movie was released worldwide on July 26 and July 27, 2007, and has grossed an estimated $525.3 million. The Simpsons has won numerous awards since its premiere, including 23 Emmy Awards, 24 Annie Awards, and a Peabody Award. The December 31, 1999 issue of Time magazine named it the best television show of the 20th century. On January 14, 2000, The Simpsons received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. As the longest-running sitcom and animated program in American history, The Simpsons has had a huge impact on pop culture: for example, Homer Simpson's annoyed mutter "D'oh!" was included in the English dictionary; the show also influenced many adult-oriented animated sitcoms.
