Many consider The Simpsons to be the most influential sitcom in television history. The surge in adult animation we saw starting in the 1990s wouldn’t have been possible without its success. Without the original show paving the way, we wouldn’t have popular series like Family Guy, South Park, Bob’s Burgers, King of the Hill, Beavis and Butt-head, American Dad, Futurama, Disenchantment, Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites, BoJack Horseman, Central Park, Krapopolis, Big Mouth, Smiling Friends, F is for Family, or Daria. However, these shows weren’t simply copies of The Simpsons; they each brought something unique.
