Set in Springfield, the average American town, the show focuses on the antics and everyday adventures of the Simpson family; Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, as well as a virtual cast of thousands. Since the beginning, the series has been a pop culture icon, attracting hundreds of celebrities to guest star. The show has also made name for itself in its fearless satirical take on politics, media and American life in general.
The quality of this never-ending series has slipped a long way since its heyday, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a show so well-written and rewatchable for the first 10 or so seasons. It's relatable for kids who watch it, but also, as I grew I noticed and related to other characters, dialogue and plot points.
