On December 17, 1989, the American broadcaster Fox, which is otherwise not impressive either because of its program or its reporting, broadcast the first episode of the "Simpsons".
We always enjoyed letting our boys, both born in the mid-1990s, watch The Simpsons episodes; they literally grew up with it.
In 2007 the whole family made a pilgrimage to see the film The Simpsons Movie and we all enjoyed the evening.
Matt Groening created over the past three decades a small universe of average Americans, with whose population, at least some of them, actually all people, regardless of their origin or orientation, can still make friends today.
In the meantime, there are probably well over 600 episodes that have been broadcast, and whoever was not a guest on the Simpsons does not play a major role, at least in the USA.
Since November 2019, the Simpsons have also been broadcast on the Disney+ streaming service; The Disney Group had long since bought up Fox and is now making sure that the Simpsons follow their viewers to completely new places.
I like to go back to the old DVDs and am always happy about the insights of these yellow people from Springfield.
Like Mayor Quimby, who really doesn't like Prohibition.
"You can't seriously want to ban alcohol. It tastes great, makes women appear more attractive, and makes a person virtually invulnerable to criticism."

But no one from the Simpson universe has ever commented on alcohol consumption as beautifully as the head of the family Homer Simpson even.
"To alcohol! The cause of ... and solution to ... all of life's problems."
