{{Infobox Object
'''The Simpsons''' is an American-produced animated television series. First broadcast in [[1989]], only three weeks after the broadcast of the final episode of the original ''Doctor Who'', it is presently ([[2010]]) in its 21st season, making it the longest-running American prime-time scripted series of all time, and the longest-running English-language animated series in the world. It, along with ''Law & Order'' (a live-action drama that ended after its 20th season) and ''Gunsmoke'' (a live-action Western that also wrapped after 20 seasons), are the only American programmes broadcast on a weekly schedule (therefore discounting daytime soap operas) to boast longevity approaching that of the original 26-season run of ''Doctor Who''.

There have been several explicit references to ''Doctor Who'' within episodes of ''The Simpsons'' in the episodes;
'''''The Simpsons''''' was a [[cartoon]] [[television]] programme from the [[20th century]].

* In [[1998]]'s [[w:C:simpsons:Mayored to the Mob|Mayored to the Mob]], Tom Baker, who is in costume as the Fourth Doctor, gives his autograph to the children in Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con science-fiction convention.

* In [[w:c:simpsons:Springfield Up|"Springfield Up"]], Homer refers to a character voiced by Eric Idle as "Doctor Who".
*In Treehouse of Horror X, Comic Book Guy has the Fourth Doctor concealed in a plastic bag, along with many other characters. He introduces the Doctor as "Doctor Who"


The show's creator, Matt Groening, is reportedly a huge fan of ''Doctor Who'', with the Fourth Doctor being his favourite incarnation.{{fact}} Consulting producer Don Payne is also apparently a fan – in the 2009 "Treehouse of Horror" episode, he was credited as Don "he will knock 4 times" Payne, a reference to the prophecy begun in [[DW]]: ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]''.
