'''''The Simpsons'' shorts''' is a series of one-minute shorts that ran on the variety show ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]'' for three seasons, before the characters spun off into their own half-hour prime time show called ''[[The Simpsons]]''. The shorts were created by cartoonist [[Matt Groening]] in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]'s office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and had intended to present his ''[[Life in Hell]]'' series. When he realized that animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after his own family. Bart was modeled after Groening's older brother, Mark, but given a different name which was chosen as an anagram of "brat."
