It was Sunday night, December 17, 1989...and this was it. The family had spent the 3 years prior, occupying a "short" (no pun) segment on the Tracy Ullman Show. They had held their own...at least enough to secure a prime time broadcast slot on Fox, soon becoming the first series on that network to land in the Top 30 ratings in a single season.
In a generation where an ADHD diagnosis is almost as common as a Christmas Eve "Christmas Story" marathon on TBS, a seasoned animated series is not the easiest to find. Bad shows last a season, good shows last 3, and great shows last 6 to 8 max.

If you were looking for a lesson on how to stay relevant, look no further...for 21 consecutive years Matt Groening has found a way to keep his animated creation on your tube Sunday in and Sunday out. The fact that this family that we have all grown to know and love, is loosely based on his family experiences probably helps. But I would like to credit his public relation sense. He creates real life avenues and situations for the group to experience together. From marketing campaigns, to episode "appearances," to illustration evolution to correspond with the times...Team Simpson knows how to do it.
Thanks.
