Now the longest-running comedy in television history, THE SIMPSONS immediately struck a chord with viewers across the country over 20 years ago as it poked fun at itself and everything in its wake. With its subversive humor and delightful wit, the series, entering its 22nd season, has made an indelible imprint on American pop culture, and the family members have become television icons.
The Simpsons reside in the town of Springfield. HOMER (Dan Castellaneta) works as a safety inspector at the local nuclear power plant; MARGE (Julie Kavner) tries to keep the peace in her family; BART (Nancy Cartwright) is the mischievous 10-year-old hellion; 8-year-old LISA (Yeardley Smith) is the intelligent, saxophone-playing, vegetarian member of the family; and baby MAGGIE conveys emotions via pacifier sucks.
In The Simpsons Season 22, America’s favorite family continues to entertain us with their wild and outlandish adventures as Maggie goes missing, Homer becomes a premier hairdresser, Moe’s Tavern is converted into an ultra-trendy bar and the family debates the best way to spend the holiday season.
Guest stars paying Springfield a visit this season include Glee cast members Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Amber Riley; film star Daniel Radcliffe; and “House” star Hugh Laurie, who provided voices for the terrifying annual “Treehouse of Horror” episode. Additional guest voices include Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie from Flight of the Conchords, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, baseball great Mike Scioscia, Martha Stewart, Rachel Weisz, Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Alyson Hannigan and Joe Mantegna.
James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Al Jean, Ian Maxtone-Graham and Matt Selman are the executive producers of THE SIMPSONS.
