《辛普森一家》（TheSimpsons）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(chuàng)作。該劇通過展現(xiàn)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(shè)定于虛構(gòu)小鎮(zhèn)春田鎮(zhèn)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(jìn)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(gòu)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(zhuǎn)正進(jìn)入半小時的黃金時段，并成為了福克斯在早期達(dá)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(jì)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(jì)最優(yōu)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(jié)目，《辛普森一家》對流行文化產(chǎn)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(chǎn)生了影響。Season11Season11,Episode1:BeyondBlunderdomeOriginalAirDate—26September1999WhenMelGibsonbecomesconvincedthatHomeristheonlymanwiththegutstotellhimthetruth,heinsistsHomeraccompanyhimtoHollywoodtohelpfixhisnewestfilmproject,aremakeofMr.SmithGoestoWashington.Season11,Episode2:Brother’sLittleHelperOriginalAirDate—3October1999Bartisputonmedicationtocontrolhisbehavior,butthepillscausehimtobecomeparanoidandinsane.Season11,Episode3:GuessWho’sComingtoCriticizeDinner?OriginalAirDate—24October1999Homer’snegativereviewsasafoodcriticputshislifeindanger.FortunatelyhehasLisafightingforhim.Season11,Episode4:TreehouseofHorrorXOriginalAirDate—31October1999TheSimpsonsattempttocoveruptheiraccidentalmurderofNedFlandersin"IKnowWhatYouDid-Iddly-Did."Then,BartandLisabecomesuperheroesandsaveLucyLawlessfromtheevilCollectorin"DesperatelyXeekingXena."Finally,Homer’sincompetencecausesaY2Kapocalypsein"Life’sAGlitch,ThenYouDie."Season11,Episode5:E-I-E-I-(AnnoyedGrunt)OriginalAirDate—7November1999Homercowardsoutofapistol-duelandhidesoutwiththerestofthefamilyonacountryfarm.Season11,Episode6:HelloGutter,HelloFadderOriginalAirDate—14November1999HomerbecomesaminorcelebrityaroundSpringfieldafterbowlingaperfectgame.Season11,Episode7:EightMisbehavin’OriginalAirDate—21November1999ApustruggleswithfatherhoodafterManjulagivesbirthtooctuplets.Season11,Episode8:TakeMyWife,SleazeOriginalAirDate—28November1999Homer’sattemptatcreatingamotorcyclegangattractsarealgang,whokidnapMarge.Season11,Episode9:GriftoftheMagiOriginalAirDate—19December1999AtoycompanypurchasesSpringfieldElementaryandusesthestudentbodyasafocusgroupfortheirnewChristmastoyFunzo.Season11,Episode10:LittleBigMomOriginalAirDate—9January2000LisafindsouthowroughMargehasitwhenhermomisintractionandshebecomesthewomanofthehouse.HomerandBart’santicsgethersoworkedupsheconspirestoteachthemalesson.Season11,Episode11:FaithOffOriginalAirDate—16January2000Bartisledtobelievehehasspecialhealingpowersafteratentrevival.Season11,Episode12:TheMansionFamilyOriginalAirDate—23January2000WhenMr.BurnshastogotheMayoClinicinMinnesotaforacheckup,hechoosesTheSimpsonstotakecareofhismansionwhileheisgone.HomerandhisfriendstakeMr.Burnsyachtintointernationalwaters,wheretheyendupbeingtargetedbymoderndaypirates.Season11,Episode13:SaddlesoreGalacticaOriginalAirDate—6February2000TheSimpsonsgetanabusedhorseandmakehimacontenderinhorseracing.Homerfindsoutasecretconspiracyaboutjockeys.LisatriestoreachPresidentClintonwhentheresultsofaschoolbandtalentcompetitionseemtainted.Season11,Episode14:AloneAgain,Natura-DiddlyOriginalAirDate—13February2000NeddealswithhisgriefafterMaude’suntimelydeath.Season11,Episode15:Missionary:ImpossibleOriginalAirDate—20February2000WhenHomeriswanteddeadforrenegingona10,000dollarpledgetoPBS,ReverendLovejoysetshimupformissionaryworkintheSouthPacificuntiltheheatdiesdown.Season11,Episode16:PygmoelianOriginalAirDate—27February2000PlasticsurgerynotonlytransformsMoetheBartenderfromuglytohunky,ithelpsgetshimajobonahitdaytimedrama.Season11,Episode17:BarttotheFutureOriginalAirDate—19March2000BartgetsaglimpseofthefuturewhilethefamilyisonvacationatanIndiancasino.Season11,Episode18:DaysofWineandD’oh’sesOriginalAirDate—9April2000Homerdoesn’tlikeitwhenBarneyquitsdrinking;BartandLisagetintotroublewhentheyenteraphotocontestforthenewphonebookcover.Season11,Episode19:KilltheAlligatorandRunOriginalAirDate—30April2000TheSimpsonsbecomewantedcriminalsafterinjuringafamousalligatorduringaFloridavacation.Season11,Episode20:LastTapDanceinSpringfieldOriginalAirDate—7May2000Lisahasdifficultieslearningtotapdance.MeanwhileBartandMilhouseditchsummercamptospendaweeklivinginthemall.Season11,Episode21:It’saMad,Mad,Mad,MadMargeOriginalAirDate—14May2000EverybodylovesthenewSimpsons’houseguestBecky.ExceptMarge,whothinksBeckywantstokillher.Season11,Episode22:BehindtheLaughterOriginalAirDate—21May2000TheSimpsonsdiscusstheirfameinabehindthesceneslookattheshow.
