  List of fictional characters within The Simpsons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although The Simpsons is itself a show populated by fictional characters (see: List of characters from The Simpsons), there are also several characters within the show's universe who are fictional to the Simpsons characters themselves (see also: Show-within-a-show).
These include characters from TV and movies, as well as characters who appear on Halloween Treehouse of Horror episodes, which do not follow the show's continuity (if it can be said to have one).
The character's name may be a reference to Ed McBain, the pseudonym under which Evan Hunter wrote his famous 87th Precinct crime novels.

Minor characters, or stock characters, are often the focus of this kind of analysis since they tend to rely more heavily on stereotypes than more central characters.

Shakespeare, for example, is epitomized for popularizing many archetypal characters, not because he was the first that we know of to write them, but because he defined those roles amongst the backdrop of a complex, social literary landscape.
Thus, the characters stand out as original by contrast, even though many of his characters were based on previously-garnered archetypes (Shakespeare often borrowed from fables, myths and magic to construct and embellish his plays).

The Simpsons is the longest-running animated television series and sitcom series in U.S. television history, with 16 seasons and 343 episodes since its debut on December 17, 1989.
It should be mentioned that some characters' ages have fluctuated throughout the years; this is most likely due to simple oversight on the part of the writers.
Regular Simpsons characters play humorous special roles, and the two space aliens Kang and Kodos, featured in the original Treehouse episode, always make an appearance, albeit sometimes at the last minute and for no reason but simply to continue the tradition of their appearances.
