The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The sitcom is a parody of the middle class American lifestyle performed by its titular family, which consists of (in the upper image, from the left to the right) Maggie, Marge, Homer, Bart and Lisa. The show happens in the fictional town of Springfield and criticizes many aspects of the American culture, society and television. 
Matt Groening created a dysfunctional family and named the characters after members of his own family, substituting Bart for his own name. The Simpsons became the first of Fox series to land in the Top 30 ratings in a season (1992-1993). Since its first TV run on December 17th 1989, the show has broadcasted 426 episodes and the 20th season started airing on September 28th 2008. The S
impsons Movie, a feature-length film, was released in theaters worldwide on July 26th and July 27th 2007 and has grossed approximately US$526.2 million worldwide to date.
The Simpsons has won dozens of awards since it debuted as a sitcom: 24 Emmy Awards, 26 Annie Awards and a Peabody Award. Time magazine, on the December 31st 1999 issue, named it the 20th century's best sitcom and on January 14th 2000 it was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Simpsons is the longest-running American sitcom. Homer's annoyed grunt "D'oh!" has been adopted into the English lexicon, while The Simpsons has influenced many other animated sitcoms such as Family Guy and American Dad.
My favorite character from The Simpsons is Morris “Moe” Szyslak, the proprietor and bartender of MOE’S (tavern). He is voiced after by Hank Azaria, an actor that I also admire very much. I also like this character most because of his agressivity. He has a famous sentence “Hey, for kicking my friend’s ass in my bar, there´s a four drinks consume minimum.”
In the early years of The Simpsons, Moe was the frequent target of Bart's prank phone calls. Bart would call Moe's Tavern and ask for an individual by his or her name. Unbeknownst to Moe, the name was a double entendre. When Moe would call aloud the individual's name (always in the context that makes the double entendre funny -- for example: "Hey, fellas, I need Amanda Hugginkiss!", " Does any of you is Al Koholic?, “Who of you is Homer Sexual? C’mon everybody, I need Homer Sexual!”), the bar's drunk patrons would laugh and Moe, realizing he had been had, would utter a series of threats into the phone to which Bart and Lisa would laugh.
His most loyal customer is Barney Gumble. Other regulars include Homer Simpson, Lenny Leonard, Carl Carlson, Sam and Larry.
