Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.The Flanders
family is a family in the animated television series The Simpsons. The
nuclear family consists of Ned, Maude, and their two sons Rod and Todd,
although Maude died in the season eleven episode "Alone Again,
Natura-Diddily". They live at 744 Evergreen Terrace, next to the Simpson
family. Ned Flanders is the father in a devoutly Christian family, and
is often used to satirize Fundamentalist Christianity, as well as the
cloying "niceness" of doggedly upbeat born-again evangelicals. Ned is
the Simpson family's neighbor and as such is a frequent target of
Homer's abuse and a party to Homer's antics and schemes. Homer usually
hates Ned, although he has referred to Ned as "Stupid best friend
Flanders!" He owns a small shop in The Springfield Mall called "The
Leftorium".
