The Simpsons

It looks like the longest running sitcom is coming to a close in two seasons. The Simpsons have been on my entire life but disputes over pay have the voices of the characters calling it quits after 25 seasons. The Simpsons premiered as shorts during the Tracy Ulman show and three years later in 1987, the showed began running as a primetime sitcom. the new season premiered earlier

Creator Matt Groening voiced all of the characters in the first episode and the animation has come a long way. The Treehouse of Horror episodes have become a halloween tradition and those in my generation have associated the show with many major events. The movie was a huge sensation and there are talks of another movie after the show ends.
