For many of us, it is difficult to imagine a time before “The Simpsons”. Like that The longest -running television series of all time“The Simpsons” has been in the air since 1989, and while the show has certainly developed in 36 seasons, some things are there from the start. Maggie has always been a bit too smart for a baby, sometimes Homer has always been a bit of a jerk, and people are quite inexplicably light yellow, and that goes back before the animated family even had their own television series.
Before the Creator Matt Groening had their own show, the Simpson family and their neighbors in Springfield were the stars of a series of shorts in the Emmy winner-Fox sketch comedy series “The Tracey Ullman Show”. Although exactly how “The Simpsons” were designed, is controversial, is controversial, We know certain that the very first “Simpsons” on April 5, 1987 were broadcast in the first episode of “The Tracey Ullman Show” to present America and soon the rest of the world to Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Marge and Homer. “The Simpsons” changed the pop culture landscape and inspired a completely new wave of adult animated shows. Without “The Simpsons” there is no “family facilities” Or “South Park”, but without “the Tracey Ullman Show”, there may never have been “Simpsons”.
The Tracey Ullman show was an unusual joy
“The Tracey Ullman Show” was part of Fox ‘attempt to program original Half to pave the way for “The Simpsons” In his own way. “The Tracey Ullman Show” introduced us to the audience with the comedian Tracey Ullman, who already had three successful British shows and wanted to make a name for herself on American television. In every episode there was a few sketches with Ullman and their regular occupation of players, a dance routine choreographed by Paula Abdul (choreography) (choreography) (choreography)Yes, really) and Cartoon interstitials before and after commercial breaks. The most popular of these were those with great family family, which is why Fox decided to give him a 30-minute show to really dig into the personalities in Springfield after the third season of “The Tracey Ullman Show”.
Ullman was not a big fan of the “Simpsons” shorts In her show and it is difficult to blame you in view of the poor quality and early writing that does not really indicate how great the Simpsons would be. Fortunately, the people of Fox “The Simpsons” gave an opportunity to grow and the show has become a cultural test stone since then.
The early Simpsons were rough, but had potential
Although Groening wouldn’t really understand himself How great “the Simpsons” could be Until the second season of the show, these early “Simpsons” shorts still has a charm. The bad animation is now fun and feels wonderfully rough at a time when everything is done digital and turbo crisp, and the rebellious relationship between siblings Bart and Lisa is fun. (Lisa would only become a bookworm in the actual series that we know and love, and even then it was developed over time.)
Although there are some elements of “The Simpsons” that are not well aged, Like some less than coffin guest starsThe show has been uniquely original since its time as a series of shorts on a really crazy sketch comedy show. Tracy Ullman has had a lot of her own success since the end of her show, including an HBO sketch series and a leading role in John Waters’ last film “A Dirty Scham”, but the greatest legacy of her Fox show will always start “The Simpsons . “
