Conceived by Matt Groening and first aired in 1989, The Simpsons has received praise and criticism in equal measure. Whilst some believe that the main characters are bad role models, others argue that The Simpsons is not only great entertainment, but that it also provides an intelligent look into the issues that are faced by modern society.

Either way, the TV sitcom (and feature film) have inspired an incredible selection of spin-off merchandise, with literally hundreds of Simpsons toys and games available to buy.
