The Simpsons premiered on Fox on December 17 1989, becoming the network’s first prime-time cartoon to break into the top-30 ratings and proving adult animation could draw massive audiences. Its success sparked a 1990s boom of shows such as Beavis and Butt-Head, South Park and King of the Hill, establishing a model that streaming services now use to order multi-season animated series.
