The Simpsons : In A Class Of It's Own

 Carrying on from an earlier post where I introduced you to The Simpsons, (yes I know they probably don't need an introduction) I thought I would expand the post to other characters on the programme however, with so many different characters just where do you start?

 I've decided to continue with the characters associated with Springfield Elementary, friends, teachers and indeed the odd enemy. Springfield Elementary under the not to excellent hands of Principle Skinner is an often under achieving, chaotic and down right bizarre school, I'm not sure if anyone would want to send their children there!

The Best Friend


Milhouse Van Houten


Milhouse Van Houten is 10 years old and Bart's best friend, they are in the same class at Springfield Elementary and although Milhouse and Bart are often complete opposites they share a close bond. Milhouse appears to be quite sensible, sensitive and intelligent but is also quite gullible, it is this trait that often leads to him being roped into Bart's mischievous plans. Milhouse has blue hair and eyebrows and has a large nose, he wears thick glasses and is often considered to be a nerd, nothing like Bart's bad boy, class clown image, he also wears a light purple t-shirt, red shorts and red trainers. Milhouse's love for Lisa Simpson is well known and is often seen trying to impress her, Lisa however is not interested in him as anything more than a friend. Milhouse is the only child of parents Kirk and Luann Van Houten have a rocky marriage and have since divorced and remarried again to compensate for this they often spoil him resulting in Milhouse having better toys than Bart.

The Silly Simpson


Ralph Wiggum


Ralph Wiggum is 8 years old and is in Lisa Simpson's class at school, he is not very bright and suffers from learning difficulties, he is easily confused by situations that arise, which makes his character one the most loveable and charming on The Simpsons. Ralph can often be seen involved in unusual behaviour like eating worms or announcing something strange and appears to be in world of his own most of the time. Ralph is the only child of Clancy and Sarah Wiggum, his father is Police Chief who tries to encourage him to be more sociable and to make friends, despite this Ralph is often involved in either Bart's or Lisa's schemes and plans. He is often smiling, has simple straight hair and wears a light blue shirt and brown trousers and grey shoes.

The Teacher's Pet


Martin Prince


Martin Prince is 10 years old and is in the same class as Bart Simpson at Springfield Elementary School, he is very clever and is a teacher's pet which makes him a popular target for bully Nelson Muntz, even Bart has bullied at times, despite this they are often on friendly terms and has visited Bart's treehouse on several occasions and once tried to help Bart with his education in exchange for lessons on being popular. Martin is perhaps to clever for his class and similar to Lisa Simpson it has been mentioned that he is a gifted child and probably feels that the class is holding him back. Nelson's sexuality has also come into questioning and it has been hinted that he is gay. Martin has light brown hair with a side parting, he wears a white, short sleeved shirt, red shorts and black sandals.


Nelson Muntz


Nelson Muntz and his trademark laugh 'haw haw' is hardly a friend of the Simpon's children but he is a presence at Springfield Elementary, he is the school bully. Despite being 12 years old Nelson is in Bart's class, in his own words 'I have been held back more times than I can count', he delights in terrorising the school nerds including Bart's best friend Milhouse and Martin Prince but on occasion has shown a softer side to his personality, especially to Lisa whom he briefly dated. Many of Nelson's problems come from his poor, single parent background after his father went out for a packet of cigarettes and never came back.

Kylie Minogue

Kylie Anne Minogue was born on the 28th May 1968 in Melbourne, Australia, the eldest of three children she was a quiet child who didn't make friends easily. In 1979 her younger sister Dannii was auditioning for a role in the soap opera The Sullivans when instead of hiring her they offered Kylie the position who they found more suitable for both the role and age of the character, several other appearances followed until 1986 when Kylie joined the popular soap opera Neighbours, her character Charlene Ramsey was a permed, tomboy, mechanic who falls in love with Scott, played by Jason Donovan complete with 80's mullet. The romance of Scott & Charlene gripped the nation, with millions tuning in every week day for a slice of sunny, Australian drama while witnessing perhaps the ultimate boy and girl next door fall in love. The late 1980s had seen a rising interest in Australia, this sun drenched, distant country complete with palm trees, sandy beaches and a culture that was quite

 'be warned the following post contains images, scenes and descriptions of unashamed pop music, it describes a period in time when music was bright, bold, sometimes tacky but above all it was fun, it may not be to everyone's taste, those who believe music has to be serious may be easily offended' Now, for those of you who are still reading this post, let's go back, back in time to the late 1980s, 1988 is were it all started for me, there is no internet, no social media and mobile phones are the size of a brick. Children and teenagers up and down the country are excited at the thrill of rushing to the shops on a Saturday morning to spend their well deserved pocket money on the latest single from their favourite pop stars, what would the cover be like? What would the B Side track be? Some records came with posters, some folded out into a poster and some were picture discs, oh the excitement! Then upon their return the delight of hearing that first crackle as the needle pl

The Simpsons

What can I write about The Simpsons that hasn't been written before? Probably not a lot as there are dozens of sites detailing every aspect of the series already but as it is my favourite programme I thought why not? The Simpsons has been on television since 1989, that's over 30 yrs! An amazing accomplishment in our never ending search for something new and fresh and while it probably isn't as funny as it once was, what could be after such a long time? Generations like my own have grown up and grown older than the characters portrayed, establishing a fondness for the series. So let me introduce you to, if they need any introduction at all, to perhaps the most famous television stars in the world, an average yellow, American family consisting of three children, Bart, Lisa and Maggie along with their parents, mother Marge and the idiotic, chaos creating, overweight, drunk father Homer. The Cute Simpson Maggie Simpson The youngest and cutest of the Simpson's is Maggie, at
