I was 11 in 1987 and enjoyed The Tracey Ulman show but my friends and I loved the animated sketches we called “the Bart part”. When The Simpsons debuted I taped every episode on the VCR and my friends and I would parrot jokes back and forth to each other in class. The Simpsons became a skeleton key for unlocking friendships. If I was meeting somebody for the first time I’d ask “do you like the Simpsons” and if they said “yes” we immediately became friends. I think it would have been more special if show ended when the movie came out. Coincidentally I fell out of love around the same time. To this day, I quote the show to friends as a joke and shorthand to comment on any situation in life.

I remember my co-workers and I took a long lunch to visit a Kwik-E-Mart which was located across the street from a theater playing the "The Simpson Movie". We were in Simpson heaven. We took a lot of photos of us next to the Springfield characters cardboard cut outs. Fun times. Why did they remove Apu out of the show.

The shirt colour could be down to the format of US television in the pre digital age. In those days, they used NTSC whereas places like Australia and the UK used PAL. NTSC has more frames per second but a lower resolution. So it's possible that it was red when viewed in the original NTSC but orange when watched in the converted to PAL version. NTSC is also often referred to as "Not Twice Same Colour" within the industry as it doesn't always display the colours as well as the PAL format, so they could also be part of it. However, now that the show has produced digitally for over a decade, it should be more clear as to which colour it is and it still looks orange to me. Maybe those people have the colour settings on their TVs set up differently. Also, orange gets it's name from the fruit, before that, anything orange was referred to as red.

I'm 38 years old and have been watching the Simpsons my entire life. I am going to cry when it goes off the air. It is EASILY the best show of all time. I'm going to Universal Studios in 2 weeks because I heard they're shutting down the Simpsons area. Going to go enjoy it one last time.

Always love the videos Minty. That outro got me. Well done once again.

The one and only reason I wasn't allowed to watch when it came out is because Bart called Homer by his name instead of dad.

As a child, this show meant the world to me. I was such a poor student. But even when my dad was mad at me for forgetting a homework assignment, procrastinating until the day before a project was due, or seeing my report card, we always dropped what we were doing to watch the show together.

My fav banned episode is Goo Goo Gai Pan 😂 definitely a bit sketch but still a hilarious episode i.e.: "the man who broke a dragon's heart" 🐉

Hank Scorpio was classic. "You don't like these shoes? Then neither do I. Get the hell outta here!!"

Shockingly here in Canada our national broadcaster CBC would play reruns of the Simpsons everyday after school. I watched a ton thanks to it! As a Leftie I always loved the episode when Flanders started a store full of left handed utensils & tools 😂 On a more thoughtful note I was also really inspired by the episode when Lisa became a Vegetarian and met with Paul & Linda McCartney at Apu’s rooftop terrace. It’s was a great episode about accepting different cultures, believes & ways of living. Despite the flack it got, the Simpsons really could be profound. I learned a lot of good lessons from it and lament that most modern entertainment lacks those deeper messages 😐 You almost have to credit the show for raising and teaching our generation in the absence of parents, religion, etc.
