Prior to Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie having their own show they were short segments on The Tracy Ullman show. It is so weird to look back on these segments and see how far the family has come.

I love how you can tell that the voice actors were the same, but they've obviously evolved the characters and voices.

Along those same lines, here's the original South Park:

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Thanks, Tony! I loved the Tracy Ullman show and the Simpsons short segments in particular.

Personally I was rooting for Santa
