“Worst show...wait a minute. I am in this show. So that means without me this show would be nothing without me. I'm running for president now.”
“D'oh”

History
The Simpsons originally referred to the cartoon series in question, however around the time of it's domination in terms of programme quality, leading TV Analogist Dr. Rufus Thomas declared that 1992 was The Year of the Simpsons during an interview with Time magazine. Most people were skeptical, as Thomas had declared in that the previous year had been The Year of Twin Peaks, a move which had left some people scratching their heads, and others inquiring about vacancies at the local Bellevue, and how quickly Dr.Thomas could be admitted.
However the hype proved to be unjustified, with the Simpsons maintaining a stronghold on the quality market for the next 6 years. This massive popularity was both a blessing and a burden for the writing staff and everyone associated with the programme. Seven of the artists on the show commited suicide while the show was in production, their eyes having been adjusted so they could only see yellow. Nine others died of banana poisoning.
In 1994 there was talk of Simpsons creator Wallis Simpson running for president, leading to a forced public rebuttal a year later, with Wallis himself announcing "full and unflinching support" for fruit product salesman Bob Dole. Wallis even went so far as to commission several election-time episodes from Simpsons series 46, demonstrating a subliminal support for Dole.
It is worth noting that some political commentators such as Debbie Gibson believe that had it not been for the support of the Simpsons, Dole would have lost the election.
Following a by proxy electoral success, Wally expressed his desire to take the Simpsons beyond the small screen, to the silverscreen and to the stage. However nothing came of it, although there were rumours that troubled director Yakko Warner approached Wallis about the filming of a movie.
In 2002 Wallis refuted these rumours however, saying that he had only been approached by a man bearing resemblance to Woody Allen who had subsequently opened fire, but much to Wallis' relief had loaded the gun only with a flag that said 'BANG'.
Controversy
In 1998 there was controversy when during a live episode Homer Simpson referred to guest star Dennis Rodman as being "about two steps away from being an alcoholic" provoking another guest star Russell Crowe to start a fight with members of the live audience. The show had to be ultimately cancelled halfway through a broadcast.
The press from this incident was undeniably damaging. Newspaper headlines cruelly renamed Wallis Simpson as Wallis Wanker. The Source magazine ran a cover story petitioning Bob Dole for the return of Twin Peaks.
The furore died down later in the month, but the public backlash to the incident convinced Wallis to go into hiding. From which he would not return until late into 2001.
Decline
The term became unfashionable in late 1999, slowly a media backlash started to appear. At the 1999 Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards, presenter Henry Fonda said "Who needs The Simpsons? That show Family Guy does all the same jokes!" Fonda's attempt at irony backfired however as the young audience had no idea who he was.
Newspaper headlines ran the story the next day Fonda says 'Family Guy > Simpsons' was one of the more memorable ones. In an interview sometime before his death in 2004, Fonda said he found the incident "regrettable, but totally worth it". It is no coincidence that a mere two years later, Fonda was found dead in his home of natural causes.
Incensed at the media backlash, Homer Simpson took to racist unscripted rants during episodes which the writers and directors were powerless to stop. Renegade members of the writing staff began writing more macabre material, not fitting of the earlier Simpson's episodes, and spending a lot of their money at the local arcade, playing Renegade.
Declining show quality meant that by 2000, it was laughable to consider the Simpsons in the same regard as it had been in 1993. Tragically Dr.Rufus Thomas was found dead in his hotel room, a note was later found with the words "it's happening again!" scrawled across. The police said suicide. Conspiracy theorists say murder. Thomas says nothing because he's dead.
Show creator Wallis Simpson returned in 2001 in an effort to restore the show to its former greatness, to little success. In 2005 he announced his decision to retire as overseer. He currently lives and works on his farm in Georgia.
Legacy
It is worthy of note that 90% of poorly written Internet humor is actually stolen from the Simpsons. For an example, see George Bush.
16th March is Annual Simpsons Day in France, Germany and Belgium.
A Simpsons movie was eventually released in 2007 to mixed reviews from critic and fan alike.
Homer Simpson faced trial in 2003 for alleged 'racial incitement', however charges were later dropped because racism is not funny.
Today
An intrepid reporter revealed Bart Simpson has that disease that that Jack guy from that Robin Williams film had ... only in reverse....or something? Hell I can't do maths.
In early 1999, Marge Simpson and her friend were found stabbed to death. King Homer was put on trial for murder, but it was later revealed that the murderer was Tiger Woods.
Homer went on to beat up 1,000,000,000 hippies by May 8, 1999. While he lamented it not being his personal best, it is now a world-wide record.
Not to be outdone, Moe single handedly defeated an entire race of pacifists using boards with nails in them.
The Mystery 1990s
Lisa Simpson figured out that in 2007, Homer and Marge are 40 years old, and Bart Simpson is only 10 years old. Thus disproving that Homer and Marge had Bart out of wedlock and had to get married after high school. This was a mystery, but Simpson history was retconed like a comic book, and during the 1990's when The Simpsons were supposed to be better, was actually during a lost decade of Homer and Marge. Homer worked at his father's Abe Simpson's Laser Tag business, in order to support Marge in 1990 to go to Springfield College for $3000 a year. (Thanks to George H. W. Bush being President and lying about not raising taxes and raised them anyway, after the recession and he caused as Vice-President for Ronald Reagan that had screwed up the federal financial aid program and forced colleges to charge more for tuition. Lucky for us that Bill Clinton became President in 1993 and created a federal surplus for the first time by cutting even more financial aid for college raising up tuition costs to $10,000 a year, and setting up another recession in 1999 that George W. Bush would be blamed for as it would get worse in 2001 due to the planned 9/11 event by Osama bin Laden whom Bill Clinton was unable to capture and Bush didn't read the memo "Bin Laden ready to strike New York" that Clinton left for him. But popular opinion will blame Bush anyway, because he is dumber than Homer Simpson was when he shoved a crayon up his nose.) Anyway Homer became so depressed that Marge was cheating on him with her History Professor that Homer formed a new band called Sadgasm with his friends and invented Grunge and played on Springfield College campus in order to try and get Marge's attention. But it did capture the attention of Marvin, who had a cousin in Seattle, Kurt, Kurt Cobain who was looking for a new sound for his career as his Rhythm and Blues band wasn't going anywhere. Marvin said that Homer's style of music was like Nirvana and then Kurt totally stole Homer's style, until Kurt killing himself with a shotgun inflicted wound and then Courtney Love stole all of his songs. After that, Bart was born in 1997, but not before Marge graduated with honors and earned a Masters of Science in Quantum Physics, minoring in Engineering, Computer Science, and History. But she had to give it all up because she got preggers with Bart, who would one day lead the world in a new religion called Bartology.
