Matt Groening

The Profile

Matt Groening is an American cartoonist, writer, and producer, creator of The Simpsons, Futurama, and Disenchantment. He began with the comic strip Life in Hell in 1977 and became a defining voice of satirical animation.

Creator of multiple landmark animated series; recipient of multiple Primetime Emmy Awards; The Simpsons is the longest-running American scripted primetime television series.

Reviews celebrate The Simpsons’ cultural impact and character depth, hail Futurama as a masterpiece of sci‑fi satire, and slam Disenchantment for weak humor and pacing. There’s praise for sharp social commentary and a note of decline in later Simpsons seasons. One episode-focused review (“Il Bob Italiano”) gets special love for playful Italian stereotypes. Overall verdict: storied highs, a few lows.
