  I’d like to introduce The Simpsons . The Simpsons  is an American animated sitcom. The anime was created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. It has been dubbed and broadcast in Japanese, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and other languages. It has continued from December 17, 1989 to the present. The series has reached season 30, with over 600 episodes aired so far. The main characters are the Simpson family. They live in the fictional town of Springfield.   Homer, the father of the family, is a safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. He has a joking personality. His wife Marge is a stereotypical American housewife. This anime is a comedy about daily life, and it's fun, but I thought it wasn't suitable  for children because it contains a lot of satire and black jokes about politics and society.  This anime has a lot of movie parodies, and I like the times when there are parodies of The Shining .
