The Simpsons tell a classic story of your typical nuclear family. With hilarious plots, outstanding characters and their comedic catch-phrases, there is no doubt as to why the Simpsons have become the longest running cartoon sitcom. The Simpsons never lose their comedic gold, and this is all thanks to a genious named Mastt Groening. Also the writer of another popular adult cartoon, Futurama, Matt Greoning is probably raking in crazy cash. Aside from all tthe things the Simpsons have slapped their name on to sell (bottle openers, blankets, toys), Matt's also getting alot of profit from the show. Even more so because of the fact rhat he only needs to pay a limited number if voice actors, since most of them play more than one role. The characters within the show are Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and Grandpa. They interact with a large numbers of characters within the city of Springfield to create silly conflicts that are solved within the half hour. Aside from the outrageous adventures these characters partake in, they are actually realistic on a certain lever\l. Homer, the faithful husband always messes up, and is the sole income provider for the whole family. Marge, his wife, usaully forgives him and does everything she can to hold the family together. Bart plays the bratty little boy while Lisa is the nerdy daughter. Maggie doesn't talk, and Grandpa lives in a retirement home. Lisa always has strict values, morals and beliefs that she defends with a passion while Bart does a multitude of things to be cool. Never missig an oppurtunity for holiday specials, and outrageous comedy, there is no question as to why the Simpsons are the longest running show to date.
