Much-loved American sitcom The Simpsons has acquired the main spot on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 100 best sitcoms of all time. As indicated by Fox News, the publication lauded the long-running animation for its “subject, style and sheer density of humour” in its first decade on the air alone.


“What began as a slice-of-life animated family comedy — really, as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show — soon expanded into a broad social satire that saw Homer [Dan Castellaneta], Marge [Julie Kavner], Bart [Nancy Cartwright], Lisa [Yeardley Smith], and Maggie [Elizabeth Taylor] travelling the globe, and occasionally orbiting it, mixing it up with ex-presidents, Hollywood celebrities, and homicidal kids’ show sidekicks,” the outlet gushed.


As reported by Fox News, Rolling Stone called attention to that there is a Simpsons-related meme for “nearly every topic imaginable.” The publication stated, “In its initial days, The Simpsons was censured by conservatives as the show that was going to destroy Western civilisation. Instead, no show will be a better artefact of what that civilisation was like on either side of the millennial divide.”
