THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION

CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB

The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening, first appearing as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987 before becoming a half-hour series on Fox in 1989. The show is a satirical depiction of American life, set in the fictional town of Springfield, and caricatures society and Western culture. The series centers on the Simpson family: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. It has received widespread acclaim, particularly for its early seasons, considered its "golden age". The Simpsons has won numerous awards and is considered one of the greatest TV shows of all time, and the family was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

The Simpsons was created by Matt Groening, who initially intended to present an animated version of his Life in Hell comic strip, but he changed his approach when he realized it would require him to give up the publication rights. He quickly formulated the concept for The Simpsons while waiting in the lobby for a meeting with producer James L. Brooks.

The characters in The Simpsons are mostly named after Matt Groening's family members, but he substituted the name Bart for his own, thinking "Simpson" was a funny name that sounded similar to "simpleton". Bart is an anagram of "brat".

The animation style in the initial Simpsons shorts was crude because the animators simply re-traced Groening's basic sketches, rather than cleaning them up, as Groening had assumed they would. The characters were made yellow by colorist Georgie Peluce, who felt they would look strange if they were flesh-colored since they do not have hairlines.
