- <p> Suddenly prime time looks like Saturday morning. But the
- fans in front of the TV laughing at Fox Broadcasting's cult
- clan The Simpsons aren't just youngsters. The cartoon
- characters created by Matt Groening sprang into bickering life
- on The Tracey Ullman Show; now they've broken out with their
- own show and are a hit with all ages. The bug-eyed Simpsons
- lose their tempers and are frazzled by the trivial. Smart-aleck
- son Bart constantly sasses his folks. "Don't have a cow,
- Homer!" he advises his irate father. "Can the chatter," a
- fed-up dad tells the kids. Between visits to the local mall,
- the beehived mom tries to keep the peace. Is this what family
- life is really like? As spike-haired Bart would say, Aye,
- carumba!
