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 hi...

Kylie Minogue 1990

A New Year A New Decade And A New Kylie   1990, a new year and indeed a new decade, one that would see Kylie Minogue take control over her own career, no longer would she be told what to wear, what to say or even which singles to release, she would ditch her 'girl next door' image for something a little more grown up, more sexual, the girl from Neighbours was blossoming into womanhood.

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 ...
