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.
