Not only is it among the most recognizable, acclaimed, and influential shows in history, The Simpsons has just flat-out been on television for a really long time. With around 700 episodes produced to date, the show has put out over 30 separate seasons – and that doesn't even count the stack of Simpsons shorts that aired as interstitials on Fox's The Tracey Ullman Show in the late 1980s. All told, The Simpsons has been airing on Fox (with reruns on local stations, cable, and on Disney+) for well over three decades. Let that sink in: The Simpsons is almost as old as its own never-aging main character, Homer Simpson.

The Simpsons has been around for so long, in fact, generating a plethora of memorable jokes, bits, scenes, memes, and iconic pop culture moments, that Simpsons episodes can be used to mark the passage of time. Episodes are firmly rooted in the years in which they first aired, either through explicit references, or in the minds and hearts of viewers, who will never divorce certain episodes from who they were when they debuted. In honor of the show's longevity, we propose a new sort of horoscope: One based upon the most popular episode of The Simpsons in one's birth year. These are those ratings-grabbing installments, from 1989 to 2005.
