Simpson family

The Simpson family are the titular main characters featured in the animated television series ''The Simpsons''. The Simpsons are a nuclear family consisting of married couple Homer and Marge and their three children, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. They live at 742 Evergreen Terrace in the fictional town of Springfield, United States. They were created by cartoonist Matt Groening, who conceived the characters after his own family members, substituting "Bart" for his own name. The family debuted on Fox on April 19, 1987, in ''The Tracey Ullman Show'' short "Good Night" and were later spun off into their own series, which debuted on Fox in the United States on December 17, 1989, and started airing in Winter 1990.

Alongside the five main family members are Homer's father Abraham "Grampa" Simpson, Marge's sisters Patty and Selma Bouvier, and the family's two pets, Santa's Little Helper and Snowball V; all of them feature in major supporting roles. Other, less prominent relatives that appear infrequently include Marge's mother Jacqueline Bouvier, Homer's mother Mona Simpson, his half-brother Herb Powell and minor relatives. Provided by Wikipedia
