The Simpson clan of Springfield is the definitive American family. Despite their yellow skin and eight fingers, they resemble us more closely than any other family currently on television. Since its 1989 debut, “The Simpsons” has provided commentary on the archetypes of modern families — the doting mother, the distant father, the resentful yet ultimately forgiving children. However, rather than simply shining a satirical light on these characters (like “Family Guy”), “The Simpsons” embraces them with affection.
