History

Historical Context

The Simpsons debuted on Fox on December 17 1989 with a 13-episode first season, becoming the network’s first prime-time animated sitcom and entering the season’s top-30 ratings. Its breakthrough sparked a 1990s boom in adult animation, leading to series such as South Park and Family Guy. Adult Swim’s July 2026 premiere of President Curtis, co-created by Dan Harmon, taps that legacy to seek comparable cultural impact.
