Uh, the simpsons was an animated short off of the Tracy Ulman show (which was terrible). Their original hits were Married with Children, 21 Jump Street, In Living Color, and some Werewolf show. Fox really took off once they got football - which was a huge coup at the time.

I used to watch that.
That may well be, doesn't mean it doesn't need to be given a good death nevertheless.

Honestly I think the dumbest thing they did (and beginning of the downfall of the show) was make a movie.

Uh, I know how they started, and I know that Married was their first hit, but the Simpsons dwarfed it with its success. Did you know that Tracey Ullman tried to sue them for royalties and failed?

No I didn't know that, but WHAT is the flying speed of an unladen swallow?

Married and Living Color were what "launched" fox. Then Rupert Murdoch paid an asston of money for football and they became a major player.
