THE SIMPSONS: A CLASSIC AMERICAN SERIES
The Simpsons achieved the record as the longest-running American television sitcom in history. Additionally, The Simpsons was the Fox network’s first television series to rank among a season’s top 30 highest-rated shows. This show has over 600 episodes and has been on air since it premiered in 1989. Matt Groening created The Simpsons, and, since its start, it has become a worldwide beloved television show.
The Simpsons series also has movies and video games, and the show had a number of crossovers into other TV shows through the years. In 2000, The Simpsons was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. All in all, The Simpsons received extremely positive criticism through its time and was famously described as “the most irreverent and unapologetic show on the air” by Ted Drozdowski in the Boston Phoenix. Now, you can own wonderful silver Simpsons coins to continue enjoying the television series!
THE CHARACTERS OF SPRINGFIELD
The Simpsons live in the fictional town of Springfield in the Midwestern US. Furthermore, this show uses these colorful characters and distinctive art style to parody American culture, society, television, and more. Interestingly, Groening named the characters in the family after his own family members, minus Bart who is in place of his own name.
Each member of the family has a special role. Homer is the father and works as a safety inspector at a Nuclear Power Plant. Marge is his wife who is a full-time mother. Bart is their only son, and he is a notorious troublemaker. Lisa is their brainiac daughter who, although only eight, is an activist. Their youngest child is Maggie, a 1-year-old who loves her pacifier. Despite the length of the show, the characters never age.
But, many other characters on this show also are incredibly well-known like their neighbor Ned Flanders, Moe the Bartender, and Krusty the Clown. Every character has a complex and highly developed backstory. Therefore, fans of this show can enjoy getting to see these characters and knowing them inside and out. Because this show enjoys such a long history on television with over 30 seasons, the Perth Mint set out to commemorate this achievement through striking silver Simpsons coins.
