Their middle child, Lisa, is an intelligent eight-year-old with a passion for jazz and politics. His insightful opinions add a healthy layer of intellectual humor.

History
The patriarch of the family, Homer, is a safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Homer is known for his childhood zest for life, his love of donuts and beer, and his habit of going on wild adventures. Despite her flaws, she loves her family immensely and often tries to ensure their happiness. Marge, Homer's high school sweetheart-turned-wife, is the equal head of the family. She is known for her long blue hair and loving nature towards her family. He often acts as the voice of reason, helping to ground Homer's outrageous antics.
The Simpsons kids add another layer to the family dynamic. The eldest, Bart, is a mischievous but lovable ten-year-old whose antics are famous throughout Springfield. His rebellious nature often gets him into trouble, but he always finds his way home with his catchphrase "Ai, Caramba!" Lisa, the middle child, is a gorgeous eight-year-old and the smartest member of the family. This saxophone-playing vegetarian consistently displays wisdom beyond her years. Then comes Maggie, the youngest, whose silence sometimes steals the show, proving that the Simpsons family remains rich in character and humor.
The enduring appeal of The Simpsons lies in its clever mix of comedy and drama, and its satire of typical family life. The story vividly captures the ups and downs of family life, using humor and poignant moments to illuminate a commentary on modern life. Celebrating the often chaotic, sometimes heartwarming and always hilarious moments of family life, The Simpsons has become an enduring icon of American culture. Despite their flaws and many adventures, The Simpsons ultimately remains a loving family that guarantees its place in the hearts of viewers for seasons to come.

Geography
The Simpson family home, a two-story suburban house, is at the center of this microcosm. Located at 742 Evergreen Terrace, it is the site of various events and episodes. The famous Simpsons couch in their living room is a permanent and central location for their misadventures.
Springfield Elementary School, where Bart, Lisa, and sometimes Homer experience their learning failures, is another important location in The Simpsons geography. School is an important place to interact with a wider variety of characters outside of the Simpsons family.
In addition to these locations, the geography of the Simpsons universe includes locations such as Moe's Tavern, the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant where Homer holds a paid but chaotic job, and many other local businesses, streets, parks, and homes. Whether through the lens of satire or love, these locations form a geography that fundamentally shapes the Simpsons family experience.
