Why Homer Replaced Bart As The Simpsons' Main Character (& When)
Homer Simpson is now regarded as The Simpsons’ main character, but Bart was the original protagonist and was wisely replaced after a few seasons. Created by Matt Groening as a series of animated shorts for The Tracy Ullman Show in 1987, the iconic family then made their debut as a half-hour sitcom two years later. The Simpsons was a massive hit with critics and audiences, becoming America’s longest-running sitcom.
