I watched a few minutes of it once, time I can never get back.
I could feel my IQ dropping by the second.
well it wouldn’t have been the simpsons because it premiered in December so....maybe married..
Married With Children premiered on April 5, 1987
a little too early in the season.
i am so confused now...
I have never watched The Simpsons.
If I’m remembering correctly, they got their start on, ‘The Tracy Ulman Show’ as just little fillers between skits. I was a huge fan back then, so I remember seeing them in their infancy.
Also, Matt Groening is very good friends with Lynda Barry, who is a very successful local cartoonist in her own right. ANY of Matt’s stand alone panel cartoons & books (Life In Hell, etc.) are just stellar. Lynda, too, of course!
I remember watching The Simpsons around 1997 thinking “How can this show be this good after all these years? How much longer can it possibly be this good?
Unfortunately that was the last year it was truly funny.
At this point this show is a “Is that still on?” type of show.
I liked it originally in the first several seasons...after that, not so much.
You might be right because it was many years ago. But I thought it stopped being funny around 1998 or 1999. But 2002 is close enough.
Isn’t King of the Hill (with Hank Hill) still running new episodes?
No.
After 98 or so it was a very different show.
The Simpsons was really one of the more conservative shows on TV. They prayed, went to Church etc. The evangelical Christian character was very moral.

They mocked the true believers, ( Flanders ), even though he was a “good guy” they made him look like an unpalatable weirdo.
There were Evangelical groups that sprung up named after him. He was weird in the sense of his unswerving faith, charity and kindness. The point of Flanders was to have a neighbor that Homer would have no reason to dislike but dislikes anyway.
