Despite twenty-somethings making up a large part of its fanbase,
The Simpsons has never really been about that particular demographic. Rather, the show focuses on the baby
boomer generation Homer and Marge more or less belong to, given the ambiguous concept of "time" on the
series. After the first few seasons, which were helmed largely by people born in the 1950s, some younger talent was
brought in, such as Conan O'Brien and the writing/producing duo of Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein. While this added a
welcome new dimension to the series, it still remains largely indifferent to the twenty-something zeitgeist. Young
adults aren't absolved from the series' satirical jabs, but the heart of the show has always been about the nuclear
family and its many struggles.Posts with tag short-lived shows

spectacular failures in the world of late night gab fests before Ben Stein followed his successful game show Win
Ben Stein's Money with Turn Ben Stein On in 1999.
