The Simpsons
“The Simpsons” is an American animated
sitcom created by Matt Groening for the
Fox Broadcasting Company. The series is a
satirical depiction of working-class life,
epitomized by the Simpson family, which
consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and
Maggie. The show is set in the fictional
town of Springfield and parodies
American culture, society, television, and
the human condition.
Here’s a brief description of the main
characters:
Homer Simpson: The father of the
Simpson family. He works as a safety
inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power
Plant. Homer is known for his lazy and
often reckless behavior but has a good
heart and cares deeply for his family.
Marge Simpson: The mother of the
Simpson family. She is a hardworking
stay-at-home mom who often acts as the
voice of reason within her family.
Bart Simpson: The eldest child and only
son in the family. Bart is a mischievous
troublemaker but also has moments of
kindness and deep insight.
Lisa Simpson: The middle child and
eldest daughter of the family. Lisa is
intelligent, passionate, and the moral
center of her family. She plays the
saxophone and is politically progressive.
Maggie Simpson: The youngest child of
the family. Despite being a baby, Maggie
often has adventures of her own and has
shown signs of high intelligence.
The Simpsons is known for its huge array
of recurring and regular characters,
including co-workers, teachers, family
friends, extended relatives, townspeople,
and local celebrities. The creators
originally intended many of these
characters as one-time jokesters or for
fulfilling needed functions in the town. A
number of them have gained expanded
roles and subsequently starred in their
own episodes.
