《辛普森一家》(TheSimpsons)是美国福克斯广播公司的一部动画情景喜剧,由马特·格勒宁创作。该剧通过展现霍默、玛琦、巴特、莉萨和玛吉一家五口的生活,讽刺性地勾勒出了居住在美国心脏地带人们的生活方式。空间设定于虚构小镇春田镇的《辛普森一家》,从许多角度对美国的文化与社会、人的条件和电视本身进行了幽默的嘲讽。
为了给制片人詹姆斯·L·布鲁克斯制作一出动画短剧,马特·格勒宁构思出了辛普森一家人的形象。格勒宁用自己家族成员的名字逐一地给他们命名,而自己的名字则用“巴特”替代。1987年4月19日,短剧成为了《特蕾西·厄尔曼秀》的一部分。在播映三季后,《辛普森一家》得以转正进入半小时的黄金时段,并成为了福克斯在早期达成的成功之一。
自1989年12月17日的首次播出开始,2007年5月20日播出的第18季末集,是这部动画的第400集;同时,2007年亦是该剧播出的20周年纪念。于2007年7月26日和7月27日在全球上映的《辛普森一家大电影》,至今已获得约5.253亿美元的票房收入。
从作为一部电视剧制播以来,《辛普森一家》赢取了大量的奖项;其中包括23次艾美奖、24次安妮奖和1次皮博迪奖。1999年12月31日期的《时代》杂志将其评为20世纪最优秀的电视剧作;2000年1月14日,《辛普森一家》的星星被刻在了好莱坞星光大道上。作为美国历史上最长寿的情景喜剧及动画节目,《辛普森一家》对流行文化产生了极大的影响:譬如霍默·辛普森懊恼时的咕哝声“D'oh!”便被英语词典所收录;同时此剧亦对许多面向成人的动画情景喜剧产生了影响。
