Homer Simpson
The Simpsons celebrated their 20th anniversary last Thursday.
The popular cartoon, featuring Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie and other residents of Springfield, is now shown in over 50 countries and has won countless awards.
It was first shown in December 1989, and made its UK debut on Sky in September 1990.
The Simpsons: 10 classic episodes
My own favourite Simpsons episode has to be Bart the Daredevil. I laughed until I cried.
The only Simpsons episode I disliked was Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife - prior to being aired, the episode was hyped to the heavens by Sky TV, since it was written by Ricky Gervais. However to me it was a big letdown. I felt like being in the middle of an overlong advert for HDTV.
But at it's best, The Simpsons is one of the sharpest shows on TV, with its cutting satire.
