A Brighter Year With A Simpsons Calendar

By Steven Harrison


It's that time of the year when you need to wind up 2012 and start getting ready for 2013. To do this, you need a way to know on which days of the week certain dates fall and of course when the holidays are. A fun way to brighten up your day is to have a Simpsons calendar on your desk or wall.

Bart Simpson and his family has been bringing laughter to television audiences since 1987, when they first appeared as short animated features on 'The Tracy Ullman Show'. Matt Groening was the person who came up with the idea of Springfield's most famous family. Bart's voice is provided by Nancy Cartwright. The man behind Homer's sayings is Dan Castellaneta while Marge's raspy voice is actually that of Julie Kavner. Yeardley Smith does the voice-overs for saxophone-playing, sensitive Lisa. Hank Azaria provides voices for a whole array of characters, as does Harry Shearer.

The strange yellow family soon had its own fan base and within three years they had their own prime-time show. In the years since the first half-hour episode was aired, the show has won many awards and broken several records. No other scripted series has run on American prime-time television for longer; neither has any American sitcom or animated series had more seasons. Many celebrities have appeared as guest stars and baby Maggie's sucking noises have been made by screen legends like James Earl Jones and Jodie Foster.

The merchandise is part and parcel of any popular show. The images of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, individually or together as a family, adorn anything from T-shirts to playing cards. Almanacs and year or daily planners are some of the official merchandise available.

There is a slimline calendar full of hilarious quotes and cartoons that you can use to plan your week or month. An item that has become very popular is the bigger Fun Calendar. The latest theme for this publication is travel, with the Simpson family visiting places like India and Australia. Another almanac that you might like is one that has been personalized, listing the information that you've specified.

At the office, your days will become much brighter if you have a mini calendar adorning the wall. There is a different version especially for your desk too. Just take care that you don't spend your days giggling at the images and sayings instead of actually doing your work.

A great way to help your significant other remember appointments and important dates like your birthday is to share the 'His and Hers' edition featuring Homer and Marge. Otherwise, invest in a spiral-bound daily planner or the family planner. The latter has space for five family members to write down their appointments and keep track of one another's whereabouts.

To get your Simpsons calendar to help you through 2013, simply order it online. Your local bookstore or stationery shop may stock it as well. If any member of your family is an avid fan, you can even give them one of the earlier editions for their collection. These will make great stocking fillers this festive season.
