''[['''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). In 2020, it aired its thirty-second season, making it the longest-running prime-time sitcom in the world (surpassing the previous record of 31 seasons held by ''[[Last of the Summer Wine]]'').
 
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]].
