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.
Lisa tries to make herself more popular by writing good things about herself on the school blog, but the plan fails; Lisa helps Lady Gaga and learns the importance of being yourself.
The family travels to New York in search of Bart's long-lost love.
In ancient times, Homer and Marge observe the Mayans predicting that 2012 will be the end of the world; Marge faces the consequences of an unholy pact she once made; Bart travels back in time to buy a comic book.
Marge grows to dislike her new car because it wouldn't be big enough if they were to decide to have another baby; Bart and his friend spy on Lisa.
