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.

Fed up with the thankless duty of driving the kids around, Marge starts working as a driver for a transportation app service; Homer bankrupts Moe while watching the bar for a night.

A new teacher at school named Mr. Lassen (Willem Dafoe) is determined to crush Bart Simpson's spirit.

A midlife crisis has Homer taking up bass guitar and forming a cover band with other dads, but the band's success is threatened by the breakout potential of one of its members.

When Homer stays out drinking with Moe on Christmas Eve, Marge tells him not to come home, leaving him to make a sad trek through the town.
