簡介： 《辛普森一家》（The Simpsons）是美國福克斯廣播公司的一部動畫情景喜劇，由馬特·格勒寧創作。該劇通過展現霍默、瑪琦、巴特、莉薩和瑪吉一家五口的生活，諷刺性地勾勒出了居住在美國心臟地帶人們的生活方式。空間設定于虛構小鎮春田鎮的《辛普森一家》，從許多角度對美國的文化與社會、人的條件和電視本身進行了幽默的嘲諷。 為了給制片人詹姆斯·L·布魯克斯制作一出動畫短劇，馬特·格勒寧構思出了辛普森一家人的形象。格勒寧用自己家族成員的名字逐一地給他們命名，而自己的名字則用“巴特”替代。1987年4月19日，短劇成為了《特蕾西·厄爾曼秀》的一部分。在播映三季后，《辛普森一家》得以轉正進入半小時的黃金時段，并成為了福克斯在早期達成的成功之一。 自1989年12月17日的首次播出開始，2007年5月20日播出的第18季末集，是這部動畫的第400集；同時，2007年亦是該劇播出的20周年紀念。于2007年7月26日和7月27日在全球上映的《辛普森一家大電影》，至今已獲得約 5.253億美元的票房收入。 從作為一部電視劇制播以來，《辛普森一家》贏取了大量的獎項；其中包括23次艾美獎、24次安妮獎和1次皮博迪獎。1999年12月31日期的《時代》雜志將其評為20世紀最優秀的電視劇作；2000年1月14日，《辛普森一家》的星星被刻在了好萊塢星光大道上。作為美國歷史上最長壽的情景喜劇及動畫節目，《辛普森一家》對流行文化產生了極大的影響：譬如霍默·辛普森懊惱時的咕噥聲“D'oh!”便被英語詞典所收錄；同時此劇亦對許多面向成人的動畫情景喜劇產生了影響。 Season 11 Season 11, Episode 1: Beyond Blunderdome Original Air Date—26 September 1999 When Mel Gibson becomes convinced that Homer is the only man with the guts to tell him the truth, he insists Homer accompany him to Hollywood to help fix his newest film project, a remake of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
