For many years, The Simpsons has been a popular cartoon show, which many people of all ages have enjoyed. It first aired on April 19, 1987, on the Tracey Ullman Show, which began their long-running career on Fox Networks. The Simpsons was created by Matt Groening, who named the characters after his own family. He had a father named Homer, a mother named Margaret (which is similar to Marge) and sisters named Lisa and Maggie. But, Bart was not named after a member of his family. It was instead an anagram of "brat."
The Simpsons are a humorous, fictional family that live in Springfield, USA at 742 Evergreen Terrace. Homer, an unintelligent, lazy safety inspector, is the father of Bart, Lisa and Maggie. Although he loves his family very much, he has a habit of getting the worst out of most situations. His wife, Marge, is a sensible, hardworking housewife who holds the family together. Bart, their first born child, is a complete troublemaker who has a continuous need to cause problems. However, Lisa is an intelligent straight A student who has a moral stance against the wrongs of the world. Finally, the youngest child in the family is Maggie, a one year old baby known for sucking on her pacifier.
