	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.

		I think halloween-only characters (and malibu stacy) have no place here, this is for fictional -characters- that the simpsons know about and consider to be fictional.
		Consider the Treehouse of Horror episodes to be stories that are fictional to the Simpsons' characters themselves, and therefore fictional fictional characters Fitch 20:03, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
		From the article, "Homer states that God was his "absolute favorite science-fiction character"." Therefore in the Simpsons universe, God is a fictional character.

		From Arthur Bach to Willy Wonka, a list of the wealthy in make-believe land
		To qualify for the Fictional 15, we insisted that members be both fictional (in the sense that we excluded mythological and folkloric figures) and characters (meaning they are part of a narrative story or series of stories).
		Great wealth was required to be one of the primary attributes of the characters on this list — in other words, we looked for characters that were known, within their universes, for being rich.

	The Simpsons Archive: "The Simpsons - Just Funny or More?"
		As the patriarch of the Simpson family and "worker drone/safety inspector" at the SNPP, a "dead-ending blue-collar job", the overweight Homer is the average loser.
		Within Lisa's personality, the incorruptibility and naiveté peculiar to children blend with a philosopher's intellect and wisdom, in order to form the personification of a generally accepted moral instance.
		While the Simpson family contributes the major part to the show's realism and is the viewer's center perspective, the additional characters mainly serve to trigger the plotting while also displaying social criticism and while broadening the series' dramatic spectrum.

	Fictional crossover - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Most fictional crossovers take the form of stories in which these separated characters et al are brought together and united with (or pitted against) each other over the course of the story that is being told.
		Some are absurd or simply impossible within the fictional setting, and have to be ignored by the series' respective continuities.
		A notable example of this is The Simpsons episode 'A Star is Burns', in which the character of Jay Sherman (from The Critic, a show developed by two writers and producers of The Simpsons and also broadcast on the Fox network) appeared.

	Television Info: The Simpsons
		The Simpsons is a long-running animated television series, with 17 seasons and 356 episodes since it debuted on December 17, 1989 on FOX, and is a spinoff of The Tracey Ullman Show.
		The Simpsons is seen by many critics as the greatest animated television program ever, including Time, which named it the best television show of the 20th century in 2000.
		All episodes (with the exception of one) list only the voice actors (not the characters they voice) in keeping with the mystique of having the audience not associate any one character with an actor — this is to discourage the audience from easily identifying exactly which voice actor did what.

		Set in the fictional - and vaguely located - U.S town of Springfield, and highly satirical of many facets of the stereotypical American way of life (including beer, fast food, television, and religion), The Simpsons was a massive hit, generating a huge popular following as well as criticism from then-U.S. President George H. Bush.
		The show's basic premise centers around the antics of the Simpson family, which consists of Homer and Marge Simpson, and their three children, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, as well as their pets Santa's Little Helper the dog and Snowball II the cat.
		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.

		If fiction can be regarded as a culture's subconscious, then it's clear that we are a nation obsessed with the very rich.
		Some characters are intentional riffs on real-life counterparts, most famously Orson Welles' blistering portrayal of William Randolph Hearst in Citizen Kane.
		But given the legion of publicity men and image handlers surrounding the typical real-life billionaires, understanding these fictitious characters is as close as most of us will come to grasping the minds of the very rich.

		Though characters with faith are often made fun of, in the end the show always seems to prove that the joke is on the joker, not the jokee.
		Lisa Simpson is less obviously religious, seeming to be the most "liberal" of the cast, but in her questioning of faith and championing of causes such as animal rights and environmentalism fits in with the thinking of the more liberal, mainline denominations.
		No character is fully mocked because of their spritual beliefs, even the annoying Ned Flanders is portrayed well at the end of the day.

		The show's basic premise centers around the antics of the Simpson family, which consists of Homer and Marge Simpson, and their three children, Bart, Lisa and Maggie (in decreasing order of age), as well as their pets Santa's Little Helper the dog and Snowball II the cat.
		The episode resolved the potentially confusing change to Simpsons history with a 'quick and dirty' solution: a new cat was adopted.
		The resolution was very much a Deus Ex device, similar to how a judge was used to force the entire town of Springfield to pretend the dramatic changes in one episode involving the children's school Principal never took place.

		This vague, sieve-like quality of brain and general inability to comprehend or retain imprssions of character or events, which is becoming so common among modern so-called “readers” of books, can but make things very difficult for authors who seek to contribute something of their utmost and best to the world of literature.
