The Simpsons

The Simpsons is a hugely-successful American animated television program that holds the distinction for the longest-running sitcom in history, running since 1990 on the Fox network. The show was created by Matt Groening who has admitted that the character of Bart is based on himself and the greater Simpsons family is based on his own family. 

Film Version
A film version of the show was released on July 27, 2007 to generally positive reviews and massive box office success. To date the film has grossed over 170 million dollars domestically and almost 500 million dollars worldwide. 

Both the film and the television versions take place in a fictional town named Springfield. Sixteen American cities named Springfield (located everywhere, from Oregon to Illinois) vied for the opportunity to host the world premiere of The Simpsons Movie by creating short films about their town and connecting it to the show. The winner was Springfield, Vermont, which premiered the movie on July 21, 2007.  The Hollywood premiere of the Simpsons movie took place in Westwood Village on July 24, 2007. Both premieres had yellow carpets in lieu of the traditional red.
