The Simpenguins is a television series created by Matt Icing as a part of a show called The Tracy Snowman Show, but became it's own series. It is the longest running comedy sitcom in Antarctica with over 450 episodes and twenty-two seasons. It airs on Penguin TV.

Background

The Simpenguins was created due to the fact that Antarctica didn't have too many television shows, so they decided to give it a go, to boost up it's status. Many of the characters' names are the names of Matt Roening's relatives.

It is so popular that the creators made a successful full-length feature film.
