Description
The Simpsons Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie Publicity Photos Group of 3 (20th Century Fox, 1989). From their inaugural year - here's a rare trio of publicity photos for Fox Broadcasting's newest series The Simpsons. The family was conceived by Matt Groening shortly before a solicitation for a series of animated shorts by producer James L. Brooks. Groening created the dysfunctional family and named the characters after his own family members, substituting Bart for his own name; he thought Simpson was a funny name in that it sounded similar to "simpleton". The shorts were a part of The Tracey Ullman Show. After three seasons, the sketch was developed into a half-hour prime time show and became Fox's first series to land in the Top 30. Since its debut on December 17, 1989, it has become the longest-running animated series, longest-running sitcom, and the longest-running scripted primetime television series, both in terms of seasons and number of episodes. These 8" x 10" publicity photos are dated 1989 and were used to promote the new series. We've seen publicity photos but we've never seen any from The Simpsons! In Fine condition.More information about 20th Century Fox Artist.
