The Simpsons were created in 1987 because Matt Groening was approached to create animated vignettes for FOX's Tracey Ullman Show.
Matt was known for his 5 year old comic strip 'Life In Hell' and he knew that FOX would own the characters so he created the Simpsons instead of giving up his 'Life In Hell' characters.
His quote: Matt Groening: I had been drawing my weekly comic strip, "Life in Hell," for about five years when I got a call from Jim Brooks, who was developing "The Tracey Ullman Show" for the brand-new Fox network. He wanted me to come in and pitch an idea for doing little Cartoons on that show. I soon realized that whatever I pitched would not be owned by me, but would be owned by Fox, so I decided to keep my rabbits in "Life in Hell" and come up with something new.
While I was waiting-I believe they kept me waiting for over an hour-I very quickly drew the Simpsons family. I basically drew my own family. My father's name is Homer. My mother's name is Margaret. I have a sister Lisa and another sister Maggie, so I drew all of them. I was going to name the main character Matt, but I didn't think it would go over well in a pitch meeting, so I changed the name to Bart. 1989

James L. Brooks got a framed copy of Matt Groening's "9 Ways to Die in Los Angeles" cartoon as a gift. The Tracey Ullman Show needed bumpers between commercials. James L.
