簡介:<p> 《辛普森一家》(The Simpsons)是美國福克斯廣播公司的一部動畫情景喜劇,由馬特·格勒寧創作。該劇通過展現霍默、瑪琦、巴特、莉薩和瑪吉一家五口的生活,諷刺性地勾勒出了居住在美國心臟地帶人們的生活方式。空間設定于虛構小鎮春田鎮的《辛普森一家》,從許多角度對美國的文化與社會、人的條件和電視本身進行了幽默的嘲諷。<br/> 為了給制片人詹姆斯·L·布魯克斯制作一出動畫短劇,馬特·格勒寧構思出了辛普森一家人的形象。格勒寧用自己家族成員的名字逐一地給他們命名,而自己的名字則用“巴特”替代。1987年4月19日,短劇成為了《特蕾西·厄爾曼秀》的一部分。在播映三季后,《辛普森一家》得以轉正進入半小時的黃金時段,并成為了福克斯在早期達成的成功之一。<br/> 自1989年12月17日的首次播出開始,2007年5月20日播出的第18季末集,是這部動畫的第400集;同時,2007年亦是該劇播出的20周年紀念。于2007年7月26日和7月27日在全球上映的《辛普森一家大電影》,至今已獲得約 5.253億美元的票房收入。<br/> 從作為一部電視劇制播以來,《辛普森一家》贏取了大量的獎項;其中包括23次艾美獎、24次安妮獎和1次皮博迪獎。1999年12月31日期的《時代》雜志將其評為20世紀最優秀的電視劇作;2000年1月14日,《辛普森一家》的星星被刻在了好萊塢星光大道上。作為美國歷史上最長壽的情景喜劇及動畫節目,《辛普森一家》對流行文化產生了極大的影響:譬如霍默·辛普森懊惱時的咕噥聲“D'oh!”便被英語詞典所收錄;同時此劇亦對許多面向成人的動畫情景喜劇產生了影響。<br/> Season 11<br/> Season 11, Episode 1: Beyond Blunderdome<br/> Original Air Date—26 September 1999<br/> When Mel Gibson becomes convinced that Homer is the only man with the guts to tell him the truth, he insists Homer accompany him to Hollywood to help fix his newest film project, a remake of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.<br/> Season 11, Episode 2: Brother's Little Helper<br/> Original Air Date—3 October 1999<br/> Bart is put on medication to control his behavior, but the pills cause him to become paranoid and insane.<br/> Season 11, Episode 3: Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?<br/> Original Air Date—24 October 1999<br/> Homer's negative reviews as a food critic puts his life in danger.

簡介:<p> 從一九八九年便在福斯電視臺播出迄今的熱門卡通“辛普森一家"續約是美國電視史上最長壽的喜劇劇集。從一九八九年以來,“辛普森一家"總共拿下85座各類大獎,89項各類提名,其中包括23座艾美獎,1座金球獎提名。目前已經播完18季, 第19季正在熱播中。<br/> 主人公辛普森一家在這里細細品位著單調而又不尋常的生活。每集開始的片頭都要將家庭成員一一介紹一次,最受大家歡迎的壞小子——大兒子巴特,這個總是惹禍的孩子每集片頭都會在黑板上寫下自己的新“罪行”。在核電場工作的父親荷莫?辛普森三十幾歲就已經禿頂又大腹便便的顧家好男人,以自己一個人的力量養活著全家;二女兒麗莎是所有人眼中的全優少女,聰明且善解人意;還有聲音沙啞,留著超高發型的母親瑪琦和永遠叼著奶嘴的小女兒瑪吉。每個片尾處全家人會沖向沙發集體亮相,而且每集的造型都不同。<br/> 在美國,《辛普森一家》(港譯《阿森一族》)是最受歡迎的電視動畫片。春田鎮上的這個五口之家用他們荒誕的經歷諷刺著當代美國社會的生活和文化。辛普森一家的形象隨著電視劇的走紅而成為世界性的流行符號,其中愛搗亂的長子巴特·辛普森已經成為一個大眾偶像,連《時代》周刊也將他選為“20世紀演藝界最重要的人物"之一。<br/> 其實巴特在動畫片里只能算是令人頭痛,搗個亂撒個謊,沒事愛跟大人對著乾,禍闖大了一樣傻眼,這樣的小孩世界上何止千千萬萬,不過當他被推到潮流前線,注冊商標就變成了“春田鎮的壞男孩(Bad boy of Springfield)",因為他的壞已經等同于“酷",“壞"的一面也被特別放大、突出,大家愛就愛他身上一股天不怕地不怕、我是小孩我怕誰的氣質。<br/> 大人、小孩都愛看的“阿森一族",最主要的成功因素應該歸于將劇中人物刻劃得精彩傳神的六名配音員,這些幕后功臣也創下全美電視卡通配音員收入最高的紀錄。“阿森一族"六名主要配音員的薪水從每集兩萬五千美元一路上漲,二零零一年更爭取到每人每集十萬美元的薪資,調薪幅度高達百分之四十三。平均算來,每名配音員參加一季的配音便至少可賺入兩百二十萬美元。</p>
