  • The characters were crudely drawn because Matt Groening assumed that the animators would clean them up after he submitted the rough sketches to them. Instead, the animators simply traced over the sketches. The first short, Good Night, was aired on April 19, 1987. Later, the shorts were given their own segment on the show before the cartoon was developed into a 30 minute TV animated spin-off in 1989.
  • Family Guy parodies The Simpsons early appearances on The Tracy Ullman Show in "Peterotica".
  • The show originally aired on BBC in Europe, but proved to be more successful in America. The showed essentially was a series of lenghty skits accompanied by a cartoon. Originally, the cartoon that accompanied the show was about a psychiatrist named Dr. N!Gadatu, but this cartoon was eventually replaced by Matt Groening's The Simpsons. In 1992 Ullman filed suit against Twentieth Century Fox over profits from merchandising over the half hour incarnation of The Simpsons on the Fox Network. Although the lawsuit was dismissed, Ullman still made a guest appearance on the show as a dog trainer.[1]

Originally, the cartoon that accompanied the show was about a psychiatrist named Dr. N!Gadatu, but this cartoon was eventually replaced by Matt Groening's The Simpsons. The show is most memorable today for introducing the world to The Simpsons and the possibility of cartoon television show written for an adult audience. The original Simpsons skits that appeared on The Tracey Ullman Show differed from the show we now know and love in that the animation was more abstract. The characters were still iconic, but the way they were drawn appears to be crude in comparison to today's version of the show. In 1992 Ullman filed suit against Twentieth Century Fox over profits from merchandising over the half hour incarnation of The Simpsons on the Fox Network. Although the lawsuit was dismissed, Ullman still made a guest appearance on the show as a dog trainer.[1]
