The Simpsons has braved through three decades of network changes while dodging criticism nearly every season, such as when Indian-American character Apu Nahasapeemapetilon was called out as a stereotypical depiction of South Asians.
The series has won 33 Emmy Awards and a Peabody. It was also nominated for an Academy Award in 2012 for the theatrical short “The Longest Daycare”. (geo/wng)
