I remember watching this from my Grandma's black-and-white kitchen TV. If it's a cartoon, it's meant for children, right?

I don't care how many bad seasons they make! At it's peak it was probably the greatest show of all time!

I still argue that " the worst seasons of The Simpsons" are still in the Top 10% of Prime-Time Television Programming for the year. I won't argue that a couple singular episodes aren't steaming turds... but the overall product is still well above average. Just because the star doesn't shine as bright as it used to doesn't mean it's still not one of the brightest in the sky. |

While I'm not bothered by her brainy soapboxing character as much as others, I really miss Lisa being childish.

I really wish Fox would air this every December much in the same way CBS and ABC air the Rankin-Bass specials, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and How The Grinch Stole Christmas every year. It's a classic and helped launch one of the two shows that put Fox on the map.

I remember hearing the had a hell of a time getting the Michael Jackson, and more recently the Edna Krabbappel centred episodes cleared to air after the respective deaths. Both of those were delayed a week airing, and incredibly special circumstances. |

I remember this aired in Australia after the first series aired. I had no idea this was essentially the pilot for the series.
