They may have been latecomers to Springfield, but they are still loved by all.

Over the past three decades, The Simpsons has developed a cast of characters that no other show in history can match. Who else could put 22 short films in one episode based around over 40 different known, established, and loved characters?
The town of Springfield is populated with the series’ main cast, its secondary cast, and even its tertiary cast, built up over 30+ years, but many of the strongest characters were introduced almost immediately. The likes of Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner, Mr. Burns, Moe, and Krusty the Clown all appeared in season one along side the titular family themselves.
But what about the later comers to the scene? Though the show may have established itself and its main characters after the first 13 episodes, there has been more than enough time since for some truly special residents of Springfield and beyond earn a place in our hearts.
Whether they typically reside in Springfield Penitentiary, work at Springfield Elementary, or even come from outer space, The Simpsons didn’t rest on its first season laurels, and certainly kept pumping out the classic characters into season two and beyond.
