阿森一族

《阿森一族》係美國一套處境喜劇卡通片，作者係，由霍士廣播公司播，攞過艾美獎同埋皮普迪獎。

《阿森一族》係美國電視史上播放時間最長嘅卡通片，截至2019年總共播咗30季，635集。

爾部片辛辣諷刺依家人類嘅生存狀態，不過主要諷刺嘅係美國中部嘅生活模式。喺4頻道嘅節目「100個最偉大嘅兒童節目」同埋「100部最偉大嘅卡通片」中位列榜首。另外喺「100位最偉大嘅-螢幕-形象」中亦名列榜首。阿森一族被好多評論家睇作係有史以來最偉大嘅動畫。時代雜誌喺2000年將佢提名為20世紀最偉大嘅電視節目。

起源 
作者格朗寧原本冇打算作《阿森一族》，嗰陣時佢打算向展示佢嘅另一套動畫短片，但將佢嘅作品做成咗動畫之後會失去咗對作品嘅擁有權，佢知道之後構思咗另一個故仔，就喺布魯克斯嘅辦公室嘅走廊上草草咁畫咗出來。故事講一個好唔正常嘅家庭，格朗寧用咗自己屋企成員嘅名幫爾個作品嘅角色起名，依個就係《阿森一族》嘅原型。

《阿森一族》喺1987年4月19號頭一次亮相，嗰陣時係作為動畫短片喺播。片名係"Good Night"。嗰時嘅《阿森一族》被畫得好亂，因為格朗寧就係交份草稿，佢以為工作人員會擦走多餘嘅線條，但係工作人員只係照住原樣畫咗動畫。

到咗1989年，《阿森一族》被製成一個半個鐘頭嘅電視節目，喺霍士廣播公司播，嗰時霍士啱啱成立，格朗寧收到一份契約條款，要佢確保電視台唔再干預創作嘅過程，並將呢個申請明顯咁顯示喺節目裏面。格朗寧作咗以下聲明，佢話，佢作呢個動畫嘅目的喺「要提供畀觀眾另一個選擇，有別於主流電視台嘅垃圾節目」。第一集嘅片名叫"Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"，取代咗原本嘅第一集"Some Enchanted Evening"。嗰集因為製作好差要改，放喺嗰季嘅最後一集。

《阿森一族》成為咗霍士廣播公司第一個「季度最高評分嘅30個電視節目」之一。獲得成功之後，霍士廣播公司擺到佢同全國廣播公司嘅同時間播出，一較高下，但輸咗。另外，又起訴電視台，因為佢覺得《阿森一族》嗰陣喺佢嘅節目度播出來，而家先會獲得咁嘅成功，所以佢要求分一杯羹。最後霍士廣播公司贏咗。

《阿森一族》由一開始就受到爭議，故事人物係個反叛嘅細路，成日惹事生非但係又唔受懲罰。所以一班家長組織同埋保守人士就覺得巴特為細路樹立一個壞榜樣。第41任美國總統老布殊話︰「我哋希望美國嘅家庭強而有力，希望佢哋更似而唔係阿森一族。」

係Springfield核能工廠嘅安全檢查員，總體來講係一個善意嘅小丑。以前係一個好有深度嘅女人，但係慢慢適應咗主婦生活嘅模式。巴特阿森係阿森家嘅大仔，成日惹麻煩，曾經話佢係「無法無天年輕人嘅一個惡作劇」，巴特認為自己係反叛者。麗莎係一個好聰明嘅學生、素食主義者、佛教徒、爵士樂迷，被認為係家庭嘅希望。係一個永遠唔會大嘅細路。就算過咗好多年，阿森一家人都冇變老過。

劇中重有好多配角，包括同事、老師、遠房親戚同埋當地名人等。好多呢啲角色都形成咗佢哋自己嘅追隨羣體。

種族關係亦係劇中嘅諷刺主題，黑人實被刻畫得好聰明，譬如卡爾、赫波特醫生；現實中嘅白色人種喺劇中統統被描繪成黃皮膚，而黃色人種嘅中國人日本人喺劇中係白皮膚。劇中亦經常諷刺商業習慣同埋人嘅性格。

好多集嘅情節關注一個特定家庭成員嘅歷險，通常係荷馬。但係情節經常出人意表，好反映角色嘅特點。下面係一啲成日出現嘅情節：
 荷馬搵新工或者參加快速致富計劃。
 美枝試圖逃離單調嘅主婦生活，試吓開始一種愛好。
 巴特惹咗大麻煩並試圖解決佢。
 麗莎稱讚一特殊政治事業或者團體嘅優點。
 冚家去旅行
