About the start of The Simpsons

The family was conceived by Matt Groening just before a pitch for a series of animated shorts for James L.Brooks. He sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after members of his own family, substituting Bart for his own name. Viewers also have come to know and love the rich, and sometimes quirky characters who live in Springfield. The series has had a vast array of supporting characters, including co-workers, teachers, family friends, extended relatives, and local celebrities.

Catchphrases and words that have been used on The Simspons have been accepted into everyday language.
