The debut episode of the world's longest-running animated sitcom - 'Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire' - aired in the U.S. on 17th December, 1989; attracting the Fox network's highest ever Sunday night ratings. It was an instant sensation, with many contemporary critics remarking that the ‘dysfunctionality' of The Simpsons was in-keeping with other 90s hits Roseanne and Married… With Children, while conservative voices including George H W Bush criticised what they saw as its celebration of underachievement. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discover how it came to be that a Christmas special should introduce the series; explain why Tracey Ullman filed a lawsuit about it; and reveal how many colours are in the show's distinctive paint palette…  Further Reading: • ‘Honoring ‘Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire'' (Vulture, 2018): https://www.vulture.com/2018/12/honoring-simpsons-roasting-on-an-open-fire.html • ‘Did Tracey Ullman Get Rich Off ‘The Simpsons'?'

A Christmas special, the show had a very long delayed release. It first aired on Fox in the United States on December 17, 1989. Introducing the Simpson family into half-hour television, in this episode, Bart Simpson disobediently gets a tattoo without the permission of his parents. After Marge spends all the family's holiday budget on having it removed, Homer learns that his boss is not giving employees Christmas bonuses, and takes a job as a shopping mall Santa in order to pay for his children's Christmas presents.

In this episode, which I believe was recorded around this time last year, Kieran and I- both longtime fans of the show, The Simpsons- sat down to discuss the first episode of the long-running show (as well as our early interactions with the TV phenomenon), 'Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire'.

It's the beginning of the Simpons. Join us each week as we discuss each episode in order of the Simpsons. We will be ranking them as we go. Obviously the first episode is ranked #1 overall....so far. This episode still has a lot of good memories from back in the day, and for a Season 1 episode is still kind of funny.

Send us a textBack in 1989, we all got the warm and fuzzy feels when Christmas came around. It was a time to reflect before the year ended, binge Christmas movies, and think of others. It really is the most wonderful time of the year.And then it got even more wonderfuller. There was a new family on the block, and they believed in spouses lying to each other, taking underage kids to the dog races, and choking their son in disgreement.Where did this show come from? Who were the creatives behind it?WOuld "moth" have made a better tattoo?All these questions, and more, will be answered in this look at THE SIMPSONS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE!Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good podcast!

Ho, Ho, Ho! Merry Christmas, listeners. To round off the year, Chris and Mark go back far further than they're willing to admit in search of an underrated gem, wax poetic about 80s sitcoms, and ascertain that Mark's mother truly is one of a kind.

Today we are back with a very special Christmas episode! So, grab your mulled wine and join us in experiencing the true joy of Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire (S1E1). Let's explore the sketchy animation of the earlier seasons, Bart's hidden omnibenevolence, and - of course - the introduction of Santa's Little Helper.

Ho! Ho! D'oh! For this week's Christmas episode there was only one logical show to cover, The Simpsons. In our first venture into the animated world we meet Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie, & Bart, a typical middle class family living in the city of Springfield. Due to no holiday bonus and an emergency tattoo removal Homer finds himself with no money for gifts. Does his best effort to save Christmas earn The Simpsons a green-light from the guys? Tune in as we review their pilot episode, "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire".   http://www.s1e1pod.com/

For over 30 years the Simpsons have been a part of my life, going all the way back to the Tracey Ullman show shorts that lead to them having their own television show that seemingly will go on longer than any of us will be alive. Every show starts with a first episode (that's how numbers work) and it just worked out that the first ever episode of The Simpsons also happened to be a Christmas episode – and a great Christmas episode at that! Show Title: The Simpsons Episode Title: “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire“ Year: 1989 Season: 1 Episode: 1

In the words of the great Noddy Holder "EEEETS CHRIIIIIISTMAAAAASSS!" and we are talking about the first ever episode of The Simpsons. Learn with us about the legal age for a tattoo around the world as well as why Tom doesn't have a cow, man! ---- It's a not-so-merry Christmas for the Simpsons. Mr. Burns plans to cut Christmas bonuses, Marge has to spend the family's Christmas savings to erase a tattoo Bart thought would make a great Christmas present, and when Homer learns he won't be getting a Christmas bonus, life in Springfield gets even tighter. So what's a breadwinner to do, except take a second job as a shopping mall Santa?

As we inch closer to Christmas Eve, strap on your cardboard wings and buckle up as we take a 2-dimensional flight back to 1999 to revisit the Matt Groening-produced TV special, “Olive, the Other Reindeer,” starring the voices of Drew Barrymore, Joe Pantoliano, Dan Castellaneta, and Ed Asner as Santa four years before “Elf.”On This Episode:Mike Westfall (@fallwestmike), unemployed penguin ready to make you a deal on an extremely valuable watch.Erin Evans (@mserinmevans), my hard-of-hearing pet flea who’s only here to mistakenly tell you your family doesn’t want you here.Joey O. (@ImGonnaDJ24), an injured reindeer’s flightless cousin who’s very excited to be introduced as this, from Y-Not Radio and Words With Nerds.Topics and Tangents:This special premiered exactly 10 years to the minute after the first episode of “The Simpsons.”The Making of “Olive, the Other Reindeer” takes you behind the scenes to watch the computer animation slowly render on what appears to be a Gateway 2000 PC running Windows 98.We compare the animation style to PaRappa the Rapper.“Mr. Lunch Takes a Plane Ride,” the first book by “Olive” creators Vivian Walsh and J. Otto Seibold, was the first children’s picture book created with digital media.“The Goonies II,” a video-game-only sequel for the Nintendo Entertainment System in which the Fratellis kidnap a mermaid.Jay Mohr in “Camp Wilder,” a short-lived TGIF sitcom in the doomed 9:30 spot.The mondegreen, a brief history and other famous examples, how one ended up an official part of another Christmas Carol, and the stupidest lyric I’ve ever misheard.Dan Castellaneta uses a similar voice for the Postman as he does a few years later for the Robot Devil in “Futurama.”A brief history of “You’re no Jack Kennedy,” and its lasting impact.The time Bullwinkle tried to kidnap my baby at Universal’s Islands of Adventure.R U Talkin’ R.E.M. Re: Me?, formerly “U Talkin’ U2 to Me?” and currently “U Talkin’ Talking Heads 2 My Talking Head?”Michael Stipe on “The Adventures of Pete & Pete” and “The Simpsons.”There’s a Hanukkah menorah on top of Santa’s castle.The pope gets a Phillies hat for Christmas.This special suggests Santa sorts his deliveries alphabetically, which is super inefficient.Previous Podcast Episodes Mentioned:Frosty the Snowman (Season 1, Episode 1)A Rugrats Chanukah (Season 1, Episode 6)’Twas the Night Before Christmas (Season 2, Episode 3)Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire (Season 3, Episode 9)Deck the Halls With Wacky Walls (Season 4, Episode 5)BraveStarr: Tex’s Terrible Night (Season 5, Episode 3)Commercial Break:Amazon.com Christmas Commercial, 1999Podcast Promos:Santa by the Minute, covering “Santa Claus: The Movie” minute-by-minute.The Christmas Podcasts Podcast, a podcast about Christmas podcasts.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays all! Taylor and Rob are joined by their friend Tim to discuss the first-ever Simpson's Christmas special. We are taking a break after this for the holidays so enjoy and see you in January. 

The Holidays Season is here and we are kicking it off with the very first epodes of The Simpsons : Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire.

The Advent Calendar House kicks off another Christmas countdown with the original video game crash, which leaves Santa stranded in Pac-Man’s neighborhood in 1982’s “Christmas Comes to Pacland.”WARNING: This episode contains spoilers about Santa Claus from 11:25 to 13:30.On This EpisodeMike Westfall (@fallwestmike), apparently necessary police officer in a town named after its own savior.Lindy (@ieatvideogames), andAlicia (@thinkbluee), the Sour Puss and Chomp-Chomp to my Pac-Baby.Topics and TangentsSanta is flying with 8 reindeer, including Rudolph. Who got the night off?Why some reindeer actually have red noses.This might be the first time a Christmas special shows Santa using a computer.Russi Taylor’s Pac-Baby has the same voice she would later use as Robin in “Muppet Babies.”No one in Pacland knows about Christmas, yet the Ghost Monsters know “Jingle Bells,” which admittedly isn’t all that Christmassy, so it gets a pass.Absent from this special is the Ghost Monsters’ boss, Mezmaron, who looks like Darth Vader with his helmet off at the end of “Return of the Jedi.”Is Pac-Man living in a town where everything is shaped like him the Pac-person equivalent of cartoonists drawing faces or eyes on everything to personify them?Previous Podcast Episodes MentionedHe-Man/She-Ra: A Christmas Special (Season 2, Episode 18)Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas (Season 2, Episode 20)Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire (Season 3, Episode 9)G.I.

Welcome back for an all new episode of Totally Radical Cartoon Podcast. This week, Randy and Phil celebrate the show's 50th episode by looking at the first episode of The Simpsons.While Christmas shopping, Bart sneaks off and gets a tattoo. Marge soon discovers this and uses the family's Christmas savings to get it removed. Meanwhile, Homer discovers that he will not be getting a Christmas bonus from Mr. Burns and thus the family has no money to buy Christmas presents.

Andrew and Tim talk about the first ever Simpsons episode - a Christmas 'special' which aired way back in December 1989, when we used to stand close to each other.

Merry Christmas, Simpsons fans! In this very special episode, we're talking a look back at the show that started it all.

Over Easy (Drawn & Quarterly) Artist and Los Angeles resident, Mimi Pond comes to Skylight Books with her sort-of memoir Over Easy, a brilliant portrayal of a familiar coming-of-age story. After being denied financial aid to cover her last year of art school, Margaret finds salvation from the straightlaced world of college and the earnestness of both hippies and punks in the wisecracking, fast-talking, drug-taking group she encounters at the Imperial Cafe, where she makes the transformation from Margaret to Madge. At first she mimics these new and exotic grown-up friends, trying on the guise of adulthood with some awkward but funny stumbles. Gradually she realizes that the adults she looks up to are a mess of contradictions, misplaced artistic ambitions, sexual confusion, dependencies, and addictions. Over Easy is equal parts time capsule of late 1970s life in California--with its deadheads, punks, disco rollers, casual sex, and drug use--and bildungsroman of a young woman who grows from a naive, sexually inexperienced art-school dropout into a self-aware, self-confident artist. Mimi Pond's chatty, slyly observant anecdotes create a compelling portrait of a distinct moment in time. Over Easy is an immediate, limber, and precise semi-memoir narrated with an eye for the humor in every situation. Praise for Over Easy: "As funny and warm-hearted as a memoir about a bunch of punks, drug dealers, hippies, and art school dropouts screwing in the 1970s can get. Mimi Pond's coming-of-age graphic novel, "Over Easy", is a delicious charmer." --Jami Attenberg, author of The Middlesteins Mimi Pond is a cartoonist, illustrator, and writer. She has created comics for the Los Angeles Times, Seventeen Magazine, National Lampoon, and many other publications too numerous to mention, and has written and illustrated five humor books. She has also written for television: her credits include the first full length episode of The Simpsons, "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" in 1989, and episodes for the television shows Designing Women and Pee Wee's Playhouse. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, the painter Wayne White.
