The Simpsons first TV appearance

April 19, 1987
The Simpsons make their television debut in the short Good Night – a segment for The Tracey Ullman Show.

Series creator Matt Groening sketched out the original drawings for the Simpson family in a matter of a few minutes while sitting outside producer James L. Brooks’ office. The idea was that each family member had to be instantly recognizable by his silhouette.

I wonder whatever happened to The Simpsons.
