Original episodes of The Simpsons are shown on the Fox network in the United States, and are widely distributed internationally. Past seasons have also been widely syndicated since 1994. In foreign countries, it is sometimes necessary to adjust the material to suit local culture or humor. Arabic-speaking countries are an example of this, in which they cut out or modify references to alcohol, pork and non-Muslim religions.[1] The animation in The Simpsons makes the show more frequently dubbed in foreign countries rather than subtitled. For the past 16 years, The Simpsons has been nominated for "the year's best animated sitcom," and has won 9,at the Emmy Awards. In 2006, The Simpsons won 2 Emmy Awards. It has won 41 Emmy Awards in its 16 year nomination run.
