The Simpsons | Tracey Ullman Shorts :: SEASON 1 (1987)

The Simpsons shorts are an American animated TV series of 48 one-minute shorts that ran on the variety television program The Tracey Ullman Show for three seasons, before the characters spun off into The Simpsons, their own half-hour prime time show. It features Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. The series was created by Matt Groening, who designed the Simpson family and wrote many of the shorts. The shorts first aired on April 19, 1987 starting with "Good Night". The final short to air was "TV Simpsons", originally airing on May 14, 1989. The Simpsons later debuted on December 17, 1989, as an independent series with the Christmas special "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire".

I find it kinda powerful how Bart is a character largely associated with simple, snappy, t-shirt friendly catchphrases; but when you go back and find his first ever lines, it was a really probing philosophical question.

John 3:18 “He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

As it gets renewed for more seasons the animation process should become tighter and or more money goes into the process. The OP was about the personalities of the characters changing.

[@alvexok5523]

@@teamtwerk98 I don't know, I kinda found her "Rock-a-by baby" bit with Maggie funny. But on another note, look at Marge and Homer at 1:48, they look like they're in their 50s. Compare that to how they look in like seasons 4 - 12, they look in their 30s (which they were). I've noticed numerous times in the Ullman shorts, Marge and Homer look like older people than they do later on when the full episode series went underway. They looked, and even acted older in season 1 than later on, and they looked and act even older in these shorts. It's like they went from their 50s (shorts) to their 40s (season 1) to their 30s (season 2 or 3 and all seasons after). Homer's looks and how he acted kept appearing younger like that, he acted more like a strict uptight old crank in these shorts and season 1, and then in later seasons he acts silly, goofy, and impulsive.

Imagine being stars of cool one-minute shorts just to get a full series and be replaced with people who presumably buried you so that you could be referenced in future episodes of said series.

Wow the Simpsons really came a long way because ngl this animation looks like a high school project.

[@KingBlonde]

Outsourced animation to various studios, no proper character sheets, it was all based on sketches my dude :)

[@troywright359]

Any high school project that turned this in would be pretty impressive in 1987. even college students like David S Cohen produced something that wasn't quite as rounded in terms of colouring, like this was

[@KIMTUANVIETNAM]

The reason the animation is this crude is that they actually just traced over the sketches from Matt Groman, while matt did not know they would do it and thought they would clean them up.

[@nicholasgawler-collins5754]

@@KIMTUANVIETNAM Sorry to be that guy, but did you mean Matt Groening?

[@thenintendogamingchannel5519]

Wow. Nobody, not even Matt Groening himself would of known about the impact this series had on cartoons and America in general. It started out with a bunch of crude-drawn shorts. They were not great, but they were good enough to become a show. As the humor evolved, the characters changed to be more likable (like how homer went from a generic angry dad to what he is now) The show evolved and became one of the most iconic cartoons on tv...

[@daniapfel2825]

Yeah

[@nox6948]
