<P> Along with the Simpson family, The Simpsons includes a large array of characters: co-workers, teachers, family friends, extended relatives, townspeople, local celebrities, and as well as fictional characters . The creators originally intended many of these characters as one - time jokesters or for fulfilling needed functions in the town . A number of them have gained expanded roles and subsequently starred in their own episodes . According to creator Matt Groening, the show adopted the concept of a large supporting cast from the Canadian sketch comedy show Second City Television . </P> <P> The main characters, the Simpson family, are listed first; all other characters are listed in alphabetical order . Only main, supporting, and recurring characters are listed .
