| | BBC - Comedy Guide - The Simpsons |
 | | The Simpsons, however, an entirely original work with an absolute embrace of traditional situation comedy qualities, is a bona fide sitcom. |
 | | In the UK, The Simpsons aired for many years on the satellite/cable channel Sky One and made its terrestrial bow with a deserved fanfare, on the BBC in November 1996. |
 | | Also, although major members of the Simpsons - Homer, Marge, Lisa and Maggie - were named after Matt Groening's own family, there, the creator swears, all resemblance ends.{breaj}On 23 June 2000, BBC2 presented Simpsons Night to celebrate ten years of the innovative show. |
