The Simpsons season 21
The twenty-first season of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons aired on Fox between September 27, 2009, and May 23, 2010. It was the first of two seasons that the show was renewed for by Fox, and also the first season of the show to air entirely in high definition, the twentieth season having nine holdover episodes from the nineteenth season that were in standard definition. The season was produced by Gracie Films and 20th Century Fox Television. Executive producer Al Jean remained the showrunner.
With this season, The Simpsons established itself as the longest-running American primetime television series surpassing Gunsmoke.
The season received mainly positive reviews from critics, with many praising "The Squirt and the Whale", "To Surveil with Love" and "The Bob Next Door". The show moved up 16 positions in the Nielsen ratings from the previous season and received numerous award nominations, winning two — an Emmy Award for Anne Hathaway for her voice work in "Once Upon a Time in Springfield", and an Annie Award for "Treehouse of Horror XX".
Note: The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special – In 3-D! On Ice!, which aired immediately following "Once Upon a Time in Springfield", was assigned production number LABF21 and technically counts as a component of the 20th production season (and of the 21st broadcast season). It does not, however, count towards the series' official animated episode count (i.e., it is not episode 452).
This season and the previous season were ordered in February 2009. Al Jean remained as showrunner, a role he had since the thirteenth season. The season featured eight holdover episodes from season 20’s LABF production line. John Frink was credited as an executive producer for the first time. It also featured fifteen episodes from the season’s MABF production line.
The season premiered with an episode written by guest writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. It also featured the final episode written by Daniel Chun before he left to join the American version of the television series The Office.
In 2009, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the premiere of The Simpsons, Fox announced that a year-long celebration of the show titled "Best. 20 Years. Ever." would run from January 14, 2009 to January 14, 2010.
As part of the celebration, documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock directed and produced The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special – In 3-D! On Ice!, a documentary special that examined the "cultural phenomenon of The Simpsons". Despite the title, Spurlock said the special "most likely [would] not be in 3-D nor on ice." Production began at Comic-Con 2009, and the show aired on January 10, 2010 on Fox. It included interviews with the cast and fans of the show.
