30 years ago tonight, an 8-year-old me sat down to watch the first episode of THE SIMPSONS (actually its special premiere episode, with the first "regular" episode appearing the next week).

'That name' (below-hyperlinked to a BuzzFeed quiz to find out which Simpsons-character you would be) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The name “Simpson” is built on words that mean “Son of Sim (short for Simon - built on words meaning 'he has Heard' or 'Flat-Nosed' (name of one of the Telchines, Demigods in Rhodes)).”
    Simpsons Characters
  • The Immediate Family
    • Homer Jay
    • Marge Bouvier
    • Bart
    • Lisa
    • Maggie - the one I wish I were more-like (or rather; the one other people wish I were more like—relatively silent, like God in the movie DOGMA)
  • Extended Family
    • Grampa Abe Simpson
    • Twin sisters Patti & Selma
  • Others (fellow Springfieldites and out-of-towners)
    • Groundskeeper Willie - the one whom I actually am most-like ... going along with 'the way things are going,' but fighting it all the way
    • Apu Nahassapeenapetelan (or however it's spelled)
    • principal Seymour Skinner
      • his mother, whose name might be mentioned (Gladys?) or might not, but is mostly an important character on account of Seymour's such a Momma's Boy 😜
      • Superintendent Chalmers
    • school-bully Nelson Muntz
    • neighbor Ned Flanders
    • bartender Moe Scyzlak (sp?)
    • bus-driver Otto
    • teacher Mrs. (Edna?) Crabapple (or 'Krubbopple,' whatever)
    • Krusty the Klown
    • boss Montgomery Burns
      • his assistant Waylon Smithers
    • Dr. Hibbard
    • Dr. Nick 'Hi EvelryBoddy!' Riviera
    • Bart's best-friend Milhouse
    • Bleeding-Gums Murphy
    • Leo Leonard
    • Police-Chief Wiggum
    • Duff Beer spokesman Duff Man
  • others whose names I forget (though these might be "the actual names the show gives")
  • the complete list is a little longer, but these are just the ones I can recall ...


Or am I looking at that wrong (or 'wrongly' 🤓)? Tell
 me how-wrong/right I am in the comments below 😁
