The Simpsons Are Entrepreneurs! Doh!
Entrepreneur.com:
Perhaps more than any other family in sitcom land, the Simpsons are an entrepreneurial bunch.
Homer sees all situations as potential money-making opportunities, and Bart is following in his footsteps.
Homer has gone into business with his father, and his long-lost brother, Herb, was a successful entrepreneur–at least until he met Homer.
Even Marge ventured into franchising with a pretzel wagon.
The abbreviated list of the many Simpsons’ ventures includes: selling rides on the elephant Bart won in a contest; selling sugar found in the street after a traffic accident; plowing snow; selling Grandpa’s love tonic; running an internet business, which was bought out by Bill Gates; selling kitchen grease to rendering plants; bootlegging beer during prohibition; offering security services; running a daycare center; and selling tickets to see an unearthed angel fossil.
Biggest Accomplishments: Mr. Plow, until the snow thawed; the daycare center, until Homer was forbidden to see the children and kidnapped a few of them; the grease business, until groundskeeper Willie found out Bart and Homer were taking his ‘retirement grease’
Success Secret: ‘If at first you don’t succeed–d’oh!–try again the next time you find some free junk in the road.’ – Homer J. Simpson
Biggest Mistakes: ‘All the ones where I got arrested… or bankrupted… or in trouble with Fat Tony.’ – Homer J. Simpson
