''[['''The Simpsons]]''''' first aired from 1987 to 1989 as a series of animated shorts on ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]''. Unofficially known as "Season 0," the original 48 ad-bumpers kicked off what is now well established as one of television's all-time classic series (which premiered on the then-fledgling [[FOX]] network in December 1989). ItIn is2020, currentlyit inaired its ''twentythirty-ninth''second season, making it the longest-running prime-time sitcom in Amercanthe TV historyworld (worldwidesurpassing thatthe honorprevious belongsrecord toof 31 seasons held by ''[[Last of the Summer Wine]]'', although the latter has [[British Brevity|fewer episodes]], with 297 while ''[[The Simpsons]]'' has surpassed 500).
 
Depicting the animated adventures of the upper-lower-middle class Simpson family, the show started as a parody of [[Dom Com]] conventions, but quickly incorporated elements of social satire, pop-culture references, and a mix of highbrow and lowbrow humor that has kept it popular year after year. Originally the show focused most of its attention on 10 year old Bart Simpson, [[Breakout Character|but after the first 3 seasons his dad Homer gradually took on being the most consistent protagonist]].
