“”Simpsons “made their debut shortly before Christmas in 1989This means that anyone under 35 has never known a world without him. “The Simpsons” was not only a success, but a cultural cultural point point. The cynical cynical vision of Matt Groening, filtered through an animated withdrawal of traditional American sitcoms, came to define the dominant attitudes of the nation in the 1990s. We were too educated, embittered by the excesses of the years Reagan, and ready to see Muter television in something punky and deconstructionist. “The Simpsons” was at the heart of that.
And then, even if the 1990s ended, “The Simpsons” never fell quality, revealing a complete decade of the invaluable television comedy. While public attitudes moved in the early 2000s (“shock” humor and despair after September 11 came to define the time), “the Simpsons” persisted. The manufacturers of the show noted that they could simply continue to work as long as the public was interested. And the public remained interested for 782 episodes in 36 seasons. It is one of the oldest prime time shows that the oldest is the story of American television.
Naturally, its longevity provided “the Simpsons” with several notable records, all confirmed by Guinness. It is the oldest sitcom of all time (in number of episodes), a record he broke in 2009. He owned the largest number of stars invited for any scripted series, at the top of more than 700. Producer James L. Brooks (Fame “Broadcast News”) won 12 Emmys for his work on “The Simpsons”, which is most that everyone has won for working on a single program.
And, for the purpose of this article, “The Simpsons” A – According to the Emmys website – won 37 Emmy. This, out of 102 total appointments. 12 of these victories (out of 33 names) were for an exceptional animation program, making it the record of this category by a substantial margin. The second animated program awarded in the history of Emmy is “South Park”, and this show has only five victories (18 nominations).
Simpsons have won 37 Emmys (to date)
“The Simpsons” began to win EMMYS roughly immediately, accumulating a few points in his very first season in 1990. He was nominated for several prices each year. In 1990, the episode “Life on the Fast Lane”, alias “Jacques to Be Wild” – in which Marge (Julie Kavner) almost had an affair with a French bowling instructor (Albert Brooks) – won the show of its first exceptional animation program Emmy. In 1991, it was for the episode “Homer against Lisa and the 8th Commandment”, in which Homer (Dan Castellaneta) began to fly cable television, to the Dam of Lisa (Yilledley Smith).
Strangely, Few of the Famed “TreeHouse of Horror” Episodes Were Numinated for Emmys, With the First Being “Treehouse of Horror VI” in 1996. “The Simpsons” Wouldn’t Win Outstanding Animated Program for A Halloween Special Until “TreeHouse of Horror XXXIII” In 2023. Longest loss Streak for “The Simpsons” Occurred Between 2009 and 2018 – Although in 2010, It was beaten by “Futurama,” Another show created by Matt Groening. More recently, “The Simpsons” was nominated for episode 2024 “Night of the Living Wage” in which Marge tries to syndicate a ghost cuisine. He lost against “Blue Eye Samurai”.
“South Park” should somehow run for another seven years and win an exceptional animation program every seven years just to equalize the record set by “The Simpsons”, and it seems very improbable. For the moment, “The Simpsons” can rest on its laurels. And these 12 record victories are just for this category. Voice actor Hank Azaria won four Emmys for his work on “The Simpsons” just alone, and other “Simpsons” accustomed to Nancy Cartwright, Smith, Castellaneta, Kavner, Harry Shearer and Marcia Wallace also won Emmy.
Strangely, however, The favorite episode of fans of “The Simpsons” is not one of his Emmy winners.
