Here are descriptions and scaled down pictures of all the cast who have appeared in the Simpsons more than twice (Click on the links for the characters best quotes):
Homer J. Simpson : The father of the family. Homer works in the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant (SNPP) owned by Mr. Burns. Homer likes eating donuts, drinking beer, watching television and acting stupid. Homer still has a father, Abraham Simpson, who is living in a retirement home.
Marjorie Bouvier Simpson : Probably better known as Marge. She is the mother of the family. Marge loves her family and works like no mother has worked before. She also has two gruesome sisters, Patty and Selma. Marge is probably the most 'normal' person in the family.
Bartholomew Jo-Jo Simpson : Bart is a 10-year old disaster. He hates going to school/church, writing blackboard punishments, Mrs. Krabapple , Principal Skinner, the Flanders family (their neighbours), Sideshow Bob. He loves Krusty the Clown, Itchy and Scratchy, skateboarding, singing perverted songs ('jingle bells, batman smells, robin ...'), and anything that's prohibited by law.
Lisa Marie Simpson : Lisa is the 8-year old daughter of the family. She is a little genius and has always straight A's. She likes playing the saxophone and reading philosophic essays. Lisa dreams of a career where she can openly show her feminist ideas.
Margaret Simpson : Margaret - aka Maggie - is still a cute baby, so she cannot talk, and by doing so she seems to be the most intelligent of the Simpsons. She is never seen without her pacifier (except once in 'A streetcar named marge', when the lady in the daycare center took it away).
Abraham J. Simpson : Homer's father. Also known as Grampa or Abe. Abe lives in the Springfield Retirement Castle. He's a very anoying old man. He always tells stories that go nowhere and sleeps a lot.
Jacqueline Bouvier : Jackie Bouvier is the mother of Marge, Patty and Selma. Jacqueline is an old woman who is at variance with Homer, because she thinks Marge deserved a better husband, like Artie Ziff. Jacqueline was the first woman that said "no" to Mr. Burns since he became a billionaire, and if Abe wouldn't have been there, she would probably have married that evil Mr. Burns ('Lady Bouvier's Lover').
Patty Bouvier : Marge's older sister and twin sister of Selma. Patty has (in contrast with Selma) a total aversion of Men. Just like Selma she's ugly like hell and she's addicted to cigarettes and MacGyver. She works for a living at the driving-test center, together with Selma.
Selma Bouvier : Marge's older sister and twin sister of Patty. Just like Patty she never married, but she's always in search of a husband. She would do anything for a man, certainly if it's MacGyver. Just like Patty she's ugly like hell and she's addicted to cigarettes and MacGyver. She works for a living at the driving-test center, together with Patty.
JubJub : The pet iguana of Selma. She got it from Jacqueline Bouvier who inherited the animal from Aunt Gladys (sister of Jacqueline, aunt of Marge) ('Selma's Choice').
Santa's Little Helper : Santa's Little Helper is the dog of the Simpsons family. Homer and Bart took care of him when he lost the dog race. The rest of the family thought it was the best Christmas gift ever. In the episode 'Dog of Death' the family almost lost the dog and in 'Two Dozen & One Greyhounds' SLH made 25 puppies together with 'She's the Fastest'.
Snowball II : Snowball II is the second cat of the family, after Snowball I died (Snowball I was run over by a car).
NOTE : All simpsons merchandise is dedicated to the memory of Snowball I.
Charles Montgomery Burns : The owner of the SNPP(Springfield Nuclear Power Plant). He's the most evil person in Springfield and the only one who can stand him is faithful Smithers. (actually Smithers is in love with Mr. Burns) Monty Burns is very rich, but he's old and hasn't got much power left in his body.
Waylon Smithers : The secretary of Mr. Burns in the Nuclear power plant. Smithers IS gay and hopelessly in love with Mr. Burns (you must be very desperate to fall in love with Mr. Burns).
Lenny : A friend of homer in the SNPP who has a nasal voice.
Carl : A black friend of Homer in the SNPP.
Moe Szyslak : Moe is the owner of the tavern where Homer, Barney and others come to drink (Moe's Tavern). Moe is kind of stupid and is always teased by Bart (and Lisa) who make prank phone calls. Moe does also take illegal bets, but reads to children in the hospital.
Barney Gumble : Barney is one of the boozers at Moe's Tavern and used to be a study-mate of Homer. As he passes most of the days at Moe's, he's still single. When you hear someone burp, it's most probably Barney. He would also do ANYTHING to get alcohol. He would even suck a thermometer. His alcohol addiction was the only obstacle that kept him from going into space ('Deep space Homer').
Jasper : Japser is an aged man who is a good friend of Abe who also lives in the Springfield Retirement Castle. Jasper has all infirmities of old age you can think of : he's demented, he has cataract, he has trouble with incontinence, etc.
Seymour -Spanky- Skinner : Skinner is the principal of the Springfield Elementary school. Skinner still lives with his mother and has fights with her because of stupid things like the bathpillow. Skinner is also a Vietnam veteran. 'Spanky' is the name his mother uses to call him.
Milhouse Van Houten : Classmate and best friend of Bart, although his parents aren't that happy about their friendship. Milhouse isn't so clever and is somewhat seen like a softy and therefore he always gets beaten up.
Nelson Muntz : Nelson is a classmate of Bart. His favorite occupations are laughing with everybody (his famous 'HA HA') and beating others up. He isn't able to do much more than that.

You won't see Dr. Marvin Monroe ever again (except in reruns) because he died (Marvin Monroe Memorial Hospital).
Hershel Krustofsky (aka Krusty the Clown) : Springfield's clown, who is Jewish. He has a daily TV-show for children. The quality of that show isn't very good, the quality of all the Krusty-marchandising is worse.

Once, Herb was the manager of a gigantic motor company 'Powell Motors', but then Homer ruined his campain by designing 'the Homer Mobile' (You probably know why that's a disaster...)
