Matt Groening, created the animated sitcom, "The Simpsons" for Fox Broadcasting Company.
The idea came from the lobby of James L. Brooks's office and that's how this popular adaptation of a dysfunctional family came about. Even the characters were named after his own family members, because of the exception of lead character Bart.
