Every Major Milestone The Simpsons Has Celebrated (& How)

The Simpsons has been on the air for decades, so naturally, the long-running family sitcom has enjoyed plenty of tongue-in-cheek milestone celebrations. When The Simpsons debuted in 1989, neither viewers nor critics could have predicted just how popular, influential, and acclaimed the show would become. The Simpsons has lasted for thirty-four seasons and has been renewed for another two seasons, and its so-called Golden Age has been appraised as some of the greatest comedy writing in television history. However, The Simpsons still tries not to take itself too seriously.
