Julia Louis-Dreyfus won an Emmy (and was recently nominated again) for her portrayal of Christine on "The New Adventures of Old Christine," a single mom dealing with the challenges of every day life after her husband leaves her and begins dating a younger woman, also named Christine, (thus forcing her to become known in her circle as OLD Christine). Raising a son, running a gym, finding time to see friends, and even squeezing in a little romance, aren't always easy, but Christine does it all with a heavy dose of humor.

Nineteen years ago, an animated series called "The Simpsons," a segment spinoff of "The Tracey Ullman Show," debuted in primetime on a relatively new network called Fox. The rest is history. Now entering its 20th season, this satirical series has aired more than 400 episodes, won countless awards, and grossed hundreds of millions of dollars. The animated series depicts the ups and downs of the Simpsons, a strangely typical American family living in Springfield. The family includes Homer, a father whose head is often ruled by his stomach and who works at the local nuclear power plant; Marge, a loving, nurturing mother and wife who tries to keep peace in the family; son Bart, a smart-mouthed hell-raiser; Lisa, an intelligent and philosophical middle child who plays jazz saxophone; and baby Maggie, who communicates her thoughts via various sounds on her pacifier.
