访谈录 2009-10-22&10-25 《辛普森一家》二十周岁啦

Oho, the Simpsons set the yellow carpet event here to celebrate 20 years of the America's most dysfunctional family. It's the country's longest running sitcom¹, longest running animated² program and recently just became the longest running prime-time scripted entertainment program.

Creator Matt Groening never thought this coming. "You know, it's … it's really weird³. I mean I thought the show would be successful, but the fact that we're still standing⁴ here 20 years later and talking about it is very peculiar⁵. But very happy."

"Can you still love a man who's half beer?" "I always have." And speaking of milestones⁶, another one for the Simpsons Marge posing on the cover of the November issue of Playboy along with a three-page spread. The show's executive producer speaks on her behalf.

"Well, I talked to Marge today, she was a little embarrassed. She said that she wanted people to know the photo was Photoshopped. It's really the body of Wilma Flintstone." So what to do the Simpsons think of their monumental achievements in television history? Let the voice of Bart answer that one. "Are you kidding? You mean, like, hohoho, very cool."
