After 37 Seasons, ‘The Simpsons’ Still Has 1 Advantage No Other TV Show Can Match

Without question, The Simpsons is the most iconic animated sitcom of all time, with a run of over 35 years, drawing in different generations of audiences and constantly adapting to changing landscapes while never losing its core comedic style. Some may prefer Family Guy or Bob's Burgers, as is their right, but it cannot be ignored that these shows would not exist without The Simpsons' trailblazing success. Despite the exponential increase in animated sitcoms since The Simpsons' debut in 1989, Matt Groening's show has always felt unique, beyond the art style that is now instantly recognizable, and critics and audiences have always scratched their heads trying to pin down just what it is that The Simpsons has that other shows cannot replicate. During an interview with Collider's Tania Hussain, Mike Price, executive producer on The Simpsons, gave his answer about what makes The Simpsons such a one-of-a-kind show, and it reflects the show's depth and versatility, arguably giving it cause to go on forever.
