This long-running animated comedy focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. The head of the Simpson family, Homer, is not a typical family man. A nuclear-plant employee, he does his best to lead his family but often finds that they are leading him. The family includes loving, blue-haired matriarch Marge, troublemaking son Bart, overachieving daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. Other Springfield residents include the family's religious neighbor, Ned Flanders, family physician Dr. Hibbert, Moe the bartender and police chief Clancy Wiggum.
Moe's bar rag explains that he started as a medieval tapestry a thousand years earlier; Bart tries to reconcile with Milhouse; the disappearance of Moe's bar rag makes him realize he has friends.
Marge and Lisa's plans for a mother-daughter Valentine's Day take a turn when Lisa falls for an adventurous and intellectual romantic; Bart and Milhouse investigate Springfield Elementary's legends.
When the Simpsons are kicked out of Springfield, they join an off-the-grid community nearby; Homer and Marge's former friends react badly when they try to sneak back into town.
When Bart decides to get back at Homer by becoming a graffiti artist, established street artists offer him a gallery show; a new health food store threatens to put Apu out of business.
