This should be good...

They are leading off with the pilot episode of Married with Children, followed by the original Simpsons, and then a special bringing back the stars of their hit shows like In Living Color, 21 jump street, Melrose Place, American Idol, Bones, 24, and many, many , more.....

should be fun....

the simpson's voices even sounded a little different back then...guess they "honed" their skills as the years went on....their faces look a little different too........

The video quality was real poor to.
I wonder if it looked that bad when it first came out or if its due to the tape fading over the years. I dont remember the quality being that poor

not sure....i remember when they debuted on the Tracy Ulman show they looked and sounded different than when they moved to their own show.....im sure it just evolved and got better over the years with improved technology

Based on this episode it makes me wonder how this show took off.
This may be one of the worst Simpsons Iv'e ever seen.

that was painful
if that would have been the 1st one I ever watched I probably would have never watched the show again.

The 1st MWC was great thou.

Im starting to get worried about fox losing that edge they had.
They dont seem to be taking as many chances as they did in the beginning.
They are getting closer to the other 3 networks then they use to be.

Fox also completely changed the way sports was broadcast.

They invented the 1st down marker for football
They are the 1st network to keep the score and the time of the game on the screen the whole game.

They started many things other networks never thought about.

If you dont realize how much Fox improved watching sports just watch a re run of an old game on ESPN classic from 20 years ago when they never showed the time left in the game, the score, the down and distance, all the neat graphics that we take for granted.
Fox started most of that. I look forward to Fox getting a GOLF contract and getting that sport out of the TV stone age

Who knows, if Fox would not have pushed the envelope we may still be in the stone ages.
