The Simpsons is an animated sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. Debuting as a series of interstitial shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987, it is a soft-satirical parody of the "Middle American" lifestyle epitomized by its title family, which consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. The show is set in the fictional town of Springfield, and lampoons many aspects of the human condition, as well as American culture, society as a whole, and television itself.
The half-hour series premiered on December 17, 1989, with "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", a Christmas special. Since its debut, the show has aired over 700 episodes over the course of 33 seasons, including several Christmas-themed episodes, all categorized here.
