You may not have noticed, but The Simpsons just passed a major landmark. This past December 17 commemorated the 25th anniversary of the first broadcast of an episode of the series, the Christmas-themed "Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire." And January 14 will mark the 25th anniversary of the show's debut proper, with "Bart The Genius." As of this month, an entire quarter century will have passed in which The Simpsons has been airing on television for at least 30 minutes a week. (The characters have been around even longer than that, having first appeared in 1987 as a series of shorts on the then-fledgling Fox network's Tracey Ullman Show.)
