The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series is a satiricalparody of a working class American lifestyle epitomized by its family of the same name, which consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, andMaggie. The show is set in the fictional city of Springfield, and lampoons American culture, society, television and many aspects of thehuman condition.

The family was conceived by Groening shortly before a pitch for a series of animated shorts with the producer James L. Brooks. Groening created a dysfunctional family and named the characters after members of his own family, substituting Bart for his own name. The shorts became a part of The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19, 1987. After a three-season run, the sketch was developed into a half-hour prime time show and was an early hit for Fox, becoming the first Fox series to land in the Top 30 ratings in a season (1989–1990).

Since its debut on December 17, 1989, the show has broadcast 486 episodes and the twenty second season started airing on September 26, 2010. The Simpsons Movie, a feature-length film, was released in theaters worldwide on July 26 and July 27, 2007, and grossed US$527 million worldwide.

The Simpsons has won dozens of awards since it debuted as a series, including 27 Primetime Emmy Awards, 27 Annie Awards and aPeabody Award. Time magazine's December 31, 1999 issue named it the 20th century's best television series, and on January 14, 2000 the Simpson family was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Simpsons is the longest-running American sitcom, the longest-running American animated program, and in 2009 it surpassed Gunsmoke as the longest running American primetime entertainment series. Homer's exclamatory catchphrase "D'oh!" has been adopted into the English lexicon, while The Simpsons has influenced many adult-oriented animated sitcoms.

Room 7 Camp

Recently Ruma Whitu went to Living Springs for their camp. Firstly we walked from the Sign of the Bellbird to Living Springs. Next we had a stop on the walk to talk about the islands around the area and the 'onga onga'. When we arrived at camp we got used to the place and got to know the people in our cabins and we got to see the area around us. Some of the fun activities we did were archery and rifles, swimming, bush walks, the animal survival game, as well as initiatives. We also went to the farm on the last day and learned about shearing, farm life, horse, guinea pigs and more. We even got a ride on a dirt bike!

 

Thank you to Terry (Hannah's dad), Brenda (Savannah's mum), Andrew (Ayden's dad), Jenni (Sophie M's mum), and Jim (Sophie C's granddad). Camp was awesome and I want to go again in the holidays!

 

fountain

this is a cool idea that someone came up with to build in Dubai, hopefully they got it built. it is meant to have over 6000 lights and more than 50 colors showing

look how many fountains are in this pond! this is in Peterhof the "capital of Russian fountains"

this is a famous fountain in Christchurch New Zealand, my family have lots of photos of this from all different times. my grandad even took photos of it back in the 1970's! and it still looks just as cool now
