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.

When Lisa's friend dies, she seeks a way to honor the jazz-man.

Homer clashes with an industrious new co-worker; Bart buys an empty factory.

When someone passes away, the Simpsons console a grieving friend.

When Homer's mother dies unexpectedly, he decides to fulfill her final wishes by scattering her ashes over Lake Watershed at Springfield Monument Park.
