Simpsons's Pilot, "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", is 20 years old today

It premiered on December 17, 1989. I thought it was noteworthy enough to share.

The family was conceived by Groening shortly before a pitch for a series of animated shorts with the producer James L. Brooks. Groening created a dysfunctional family and named the characters after members of his own family, substituting Bart for his own name. The shorts became a part of The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19, 1987. After a three-season run, the sketch was developed into a half-hour prime time show and was an early hit for Fox, becoming the first Fox series to land in the Top 30 ratings in a season (1989–1990).



April 19 1987 is exactly when i was born! the simpsons is exactly as old as me!

"but one will change the face of television forever..."

What great foreshadowing now that the Simpsons is the longest running animated TV series in history.

...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge.  It is an indellible experience; it is forever known.  I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did.

Smith, P.  Bull. Menninger Clinic (1959) 23:20-27; p. 27.

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.

In the embeded youtube video for the circa 1989 promotion for the Christmas special above, I thought it was ironic that the narrator says, "they're coming to save the 90's".
