    Now how about the Tracy Ullman show? Not sure if there were any other characters beside the family.

        Yeah, they would air shorts that slowly played out what amounted to a single episode.

            Yeah, like that. That’s also how they would run serial shows at movie theaters before TV.

            Simpsons only got one story before it became it’s own thing, though.

              Awesome! Thank you for letting me know, I knew the early history was a touch more convoluted than I anticipated but this closes the loop :)

    Always wondered why Bart’s hair is made from his flesh. Same with Maggie and Lisa. I also wonder what a trip to the barber must feel like for them. Imagine getting your fingers shaved off your hands every couple of weeks with no anaesthetic. Is it any wonder the boy’s a menace?
