Simpson family
Springfield's animated clan
The Simpson family is the fictional household at the center of the animated television series *The Simpsons*, consisting of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie.
Since 1989, they have become cultural icons representing a satirical American middle-class family.
References to the Simpsons often invoke dysfunctional family dynamics, suburban life, or the show's sharp social commentary: Every family has a Homer.
