Everyone loves the Simpsons. They are the modern dysfunctional family. They first got noticed on the Tracy Ullman show, but were given an entire show, that outlived the previous by years. This is the first episode to premiere of the Simpsons on television, over 20 years ago. Today's youth is probably familiar with the movie, which was good, but this is truly the Simpsons. It is intelligent, funny, strange, and overall great. Not to mention the first appearance of Santa's Little Helper. If you're looking for a laugh, or just some classic Simpsons-Mania, go to the store and purchase season one. Some of the following seasons are completely better, like 4,5,7 but this... this is just fantastic. Trust me, you will not regret it. Just remember, though, the Simpson's has been declining in quality, but this isn't a threat to get old Simpson's back.
