Matt Groening changed television forever when he brought animation back to prime time with “The Simpson’s.” Groening also wrote and the fox entertainment series “Futurama.” “The Simpson’s” was Matt Groening’s introduction into the world of animation. Groening has also published many “Simpson Comics.” “Itchy and Scratchy” Bart and Lisa’s favorite cartoon. “Bartman”, Bart’s secret identity. “Radioactive Man”, Bart’s favorite comic book. Lisa Comics and Krusty Comics.” The Simpson’s Family was created in fifteen minutes while Matt Groening waited in the foyer of James L. Brooks office. The Simpson’s family consists of six people. Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Grandpa, and Santa’s Little Helper, the family dog. Homer Simpson is 36 years old and weighs around 260 pounds. He works as the safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. His favorite foods are donuts, pork rinds, and Krusty Burgers. His favorite beverage is Duff Beer. Marge Simpson is 34 years old and weighs about 135 pounds. She has fears of flying and has been convicted of shoplifting at the Kwik-E-Mart. Grandpa is around the age of 65 and has two sons; Homer J. Simpson and Herb, the result of meeting a girl at a carnival one night. His real name is Abraham Simpson, he lives at the Springfield Retirement Castle and his favorite past time is napping. There are three children in the simpsons family; Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. Bart is ten years old and his idol is Krusty the Clown. His best freind is Millhouse and he is famous for classroom disruption, prank calls to Moe’s, practical jokes, and vandalism. Lisa is eight years old and admires Ralph Wiggum and Millhouse Van Houghte. Her hidden talent is picking winning football teams and her rival is Allison Taylor. Her mentor is the late “Bleeding Gums” Murphy and her first word was Bart. Maggie is a year old and her first word was Daddy. Her rival is baby Gerald and her downfalls are drinking out of the dogs water bowl, and falling over easily. Santas Little Helper was found in the parking lot of a racetrack by Bart and Homer and was given to the family for Christmas. The Simpson’s may not be the typical American family but they have been serving Americans with entertainment for over ten years. Whether it was a meltdown at the Power Plant or a Teachers Strike at school, they always made us laugh.

More About Him:
A love of Duff Beer and donuts, a special ability to avoid real work and serious trouble, and a two-strand comb-over define Homer J. Simpson.
He was raised by his old-fashioned father, Abe, who tried to compensate for the absence of Homer’s hippie, commune-living mother. Graduating from high school at the bottom of his class, Homer went on to marry his school sweetheart, Marge Bouvier, and buy a house on the seemingly class-free block of Evergreen Terrace in Springfield. Though he’s settled in as a safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Homer has been known to take on many, many other vocations, from astronaut to sanitation commissioner. Homer loves bowling, hanging out at Moe’s Tavern, the British public television show “Do Shut Up,” inventing things, and his three precocious children: Bart, Lisa and Maggie.

More About Him:
Often pegged as just another juvenile prankster and troublemaker, Bart Simpson is often misunderstood. This 10-year-old son of Marge and Homer, really does have a sweet and intelligent side. He protects his brainiac little sister Lisa, and he has befriended would-be losers Milhouse Van Houten and Ralph Wiggum. He’s even been known to do good - like discovering a comet threatening to destroy the planet.
Bart loves “The Itchy & Scratchy Show,” skateboarding, Radioactive Man comics, and the his dog, Santa’s Little Helper. He doesn’t like school and ends nearly every school day serving a punishment at the blackboard.

So much more than Homer’s better half, wife and mother Marge Simpson is the glue that holds the Simpson family together. Though she is the devoted mother of Bart, Lisa and Maggie, and caring sister of Patty and Selma, Marge has been known to wander from her happy homemaker path. She has tried her hand as a pretzel saleswoman, a real estate agent, and a chief cook for the biker gang Hell’s Satans.
Other men have fallen for Marge — Homer’s boss Mr. Burns and French bowling instructor Jacques — but she remains true to her man Homie.

Discovered that town founder Jebediah Springfield was really names Hans Sprungfeld, a ruthless pirate. Helped Mr. Burns recover his lost fortune.
More About Her: Lisa Simpson, the family’s brainiest member, is out to change the world. Though only 8 years old (but she reads at a 14th-grade level), Lisa has accomplished a lot: She’s exposed the corruption of a congressman, she’s saved the town’s snaked from the brutal Wacking Day, she’s created her own empowered role-model doll, Lisa Lionheart, and she’s helped Mr. Burns gain his fortune back and created a recycling plant in one.
