Leeching off an already popular topic on this wonderful program, I was curious.

 

Not that I can really remember, but I think that mine was Radio Bart. Or maybe, looking through The Simpsons: A Complete Guide To Our Favorite Family, it just seemed like the first that I saw.

 

Anyhow, what was yours, if you can remember?

 

A lot of you will probably say Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire.

Since I was old enough to remember, it was the first episode period. Well that was hard.

 

I don't remember any Tracy Ulman skits though...

The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular was on last night, so saw some of those skits from The Tracy Ullman Show.

 

Matt Groening: "Git outta ma office!" (Gunshots)

 

:lol:

It's one of the first ones. "Bart The General", I believe it's called.

 

The one where Bart rallies an "army" against Nelson and his cronies.

 

Edit: ^^^ Just like Youth N Asia :P

Thank God the animation was improved by 500000%, because the original shorts looked awful when seeing them after the T.V. series started.

It was before you were born it was so long ago, so I have no idea. :)

Hey, I was born when that episode first aired.

 

Made it by a little under 10 months. :P

Yes, but you mentioned the first episode specifically.

 

Yes, I'm proud to admit that the Simpson family are older than me.

I said I didn't remember what it was because it's been like 15-17 years.

 

It's weird how Bart should be in his late 20s now. Maybe then the show wouldn't be so stale, heh.

If they pin-pointed a birthday, it was sometime in 1980, so Bart would be 24 now.

Excuse my spelling, but I think that was Homer's Odyssey (3rd episode aired in Season 1)

That's the correct spelling.

 

The episodes would have been stale to start, however, considering that there was one baby, depending on at what point in Marge and Homer's lives they would have started the show from.

It was 'Homer The Heretic' for me. Somebody recorded it for me because I didn't have cable and I watched that episode 100's of times. It's still one of my favourites.

Yeah, Homer the Heretic is full of great moments. Most episodes around that time (Season 6) are.

The very first episode

 

I never watched Tracy Ullman and so never saw any of the shorts. I just remember Fox airing commercials for this new Simpsons show during the afternoon cartoons which were such a staple in my daily diet, hence I tuned in and, bam, hooked.

Krusty gets Busted, the first one with Sideshow Bob.

One thing I hated from that episode was they had Krusty's shoes squeak EVERY TIME he took a step. I'm glad they pulled the plug on that idea.

The first episode. Great moments in that and the first inklings of how the family will function for many years to come.

 

Homer the dimwitted labor slave that would do anything for his family

Bart the mischief maker

Lisa, the caring Simpson child that loves her family

Marge, the caring Simpson parent that loves her family

and Maggie, the baby that doesn't talk, sucks on a pacifer, and falls down occasionally.

The Crepes of Wrath. I was a little slow getting into the first season and just kind of stumbled upon this one by accident. I didn't really get hooked into the show until Season 2 (Bart Gets an F), and still don't care for the first season.

For some reason, I use to think Season 1 was better, until I bought the DVD set. Damn...so horrible. The episodes weren't that bad, but the animation was a mess, the lips weren't even to close to being insync with the voices, and the show featured very few supporting cast characters.

 

Even the voices changed, and sometimes, characters had voices of other characters, like Lenny had MOE's voice in Homers Night Out when the dancer came out.
