Looks like 80's, but it also looks like 90's... They were so similar.

Late 80s, early 90s.

+Jero Briggs Truly that was an era unto its own.

The music for that open was promotional music used by Fox at around that same time.

Ser Abiótico lol

I grew up with it and I'm gen alpha! I'm obsessed with the simpsons!

unfortunately they have axed Apu because people were complaining that he was an Indian steriotype.

I hope they bring him back. It can’t be hard to find a new voice actor.

Unfortunately he gave up on Apu, and Carl was replaced by a black person.

Hank might have talent but has no spine

Yep! 1-7th seasons

Yes, seasons 1-10 are the best years of The Simpsons!

So true.

@@zyber9 yeah but seasons 11-15 were okayish(to some degree in my opinion). Season 16 onwards not so much.

Some new ones can also be good . like “sky police”

Damn I was born that year

i STILL cannot work out the timer

I was born a year after 1995

@@gloryoffandoms4844 I came out of my mother bush I also remember Jaen Simpson and The other Simpson's from time of VHS golden.

...into the future

That’s exactly right!

Gave us 10 extra minutes of jokes and they used it

And has been on for a phenomenal 30 odd yrs. Now , longer than any other show i know...

I can't think of any cartoon sitcom that uses a laugh track

@@planetX15 Well, The Flintstones & the first season of The Jetsons had a laugh track.

+SharkByte LLC One did. The voice of Mrs. Krabaple died

ArrlenStudios She wasn't a principle voice character. She was a side character, like Phil Hartman.

and as soon as a single one of them finally buys the farm, the producers might as well call it quits.

That not true. Chris Lotta was the original voice of Burns.

kavner's vocal chords are pretty much dead

Did you know that he was married to actress, Jennifer Tilly?

I agree but unfortunately it’s expensive for studios to go back and do that.

I think it's the colouring that is the worst aspect of digitalising hand drawn frames, if the cel frames were animated on a computer but were hand painted there would probably be no difference, although the saddest part is that in the last 10 years or so they probably haven't even drawn pencil to paper at all but used graphics tablets hence that sickening artificial look.

@@markusjohnson6558 it's not like it's a lost art at all. they still do it to this day and will always be used but it doesn't end up in the final product for you to see. a good example is the game cuphead that was all hand animated and was later digital colored.

At least its still hand drawn the coloring is just digital.

Hanna-Barbera already did digital coloring for animated shows in the 1980s, later for television commercials in America in the 1990s.

they do less table reads less realistic different emotional genre shows now they don't do writers retreats or as much rewriting in the room as they used to I think its really been since jim brooks left well they say he still comes around every now and again not much but I doubt it I bet he never comes around he used to influence a lot of the good seasons and be around all the time also it made the writers feel more obligated to write better to impress him cause he had to approve of the main idea story plot first before it was actually written the first few years and come on you get him to laugh you got the job sam simon also used to be involved well they made the good ones and thus because of success went on to do other things themselves that they can call their own not someone else's show like mike reiss and al jean went on to make the critic josh Weinstein and bill okaley went on to make mission hill a lot of them went to do futurama which is also matt groenings show but more for the nerdy writers who are like the more fans who are nerds which lets them write more free like themselves or conan he has a few late night shows right he left after 2 seasons I think because he was to take over david lettermans show so things like that occurred oh well

For me, The Simpsons started going downhill in Spring 1999, but was passable until "Lisa the Drama Queen". After that, the Simpsons became more painful to watch, with the family acting like their IQs have dropped twenty points.

now it poop

oh please, stop with that shit

I miss talented writers

Christopher James i miss them

@@coolkatsimpsonsfan2363 Let's not forget Christopher Collins, will we?

R.I.P, Russi Taylor

Don’t forget Sam simon

Isaac Alinda the quintessential '90s.

​@Roger B It was prob done with every movement drawn out, a photo taken of each movement then the negatives put together to create the film.

@@sludgetime Thanks for the information.

So early it still thought it was late 80s.

My first episode was the one where Bart becomes a hall monitor. I don't know why, but I had it on tape, but it started halfway through. It was years before I ever saw the first half. We only had 3 TV channels. I'm not sure where that tape came from. I think the neighbors filmed something on it for us and that was left over.

I don't remember which episode I watched the very first, all I know is that I like them since I was 3 back in 2001 when they were being aired in my country. In fact, first 15 seasons were aired with a huge success in Serbia, later seasons were aired on different networks.

It's a phrase that begins with "p" and ends with "lastic surgery"

@@lpsp442 Just like in the show.

Hank Azaria joined the show at age 22.

I love this

Same

I love the 90s in general

Before al Jean raped it

produced by Klasky, although some season 1 episodes were animated by them

Klaspy chupo also made rugrats

Poor guy had ♋️. 😿! He was married to actress, Jennifer Tilly.

@The Simpsons Clips apparently he did back in 2015, this is the first time I heard of it also.

hear that sampled break on loads of shit even nowadays!

Says the Boomers and Gen Xers who stay in social media 24/7 and believe EVERYTHING in them.

Also who is the one who turned ask the playground into parking lots, shoo* any kid who wanders into their property or call cops on them for just playing in the pavements. Sh1bags kuku you created this environment. And pretend kyun they are holier even thou. GP eff yourself.

***** oh thanks, I missed that part

You mean it isn't done by child labor in China?

Nope, eskimos in igloos

If only 90's cartoons were animated fully here in the USA like they used to be. but sadly everyone has to be cheap.

steamerthesteamtrain truth be told many of the animators from that era were not given good treatment. They were paid horribly, shelterd in shacks, and barely got to eat. All of that would not be so much of a bad thing if they were at least credited for there labor. None of the in-between artists of that day were given credit for there work. Only there supervisors and directors got there names in the credits along with all the glory. It's criminal really.

I couldnt agree more. I dont watch any of the new episodes.

the movie was funny because the old writers came back its all about the writing think about it back when they cared they wrote emotional sad fun shows variety that embodied family life cared about side character stories weren't just generic gags stupidity and homer torture porn kinda like SpongeBob after the movie when the creator left now everyone is generic like remember when bart used to write songs for lisas birthday or make her feel better by prank calling moe jut to make her laugh or when marge would become a policewoman be really good at it and just left cause her family simply needed her more and its not a big deal theres no big conspiracy or dumb thing going on its sweet and kinda is what occurs in reality

First 10 seasons are the best

evilTaker90V2 then matt Selman became the main writer

evilTaker90V2 I will say season 14 or 15 but that only means their jokes are funnier than 98% of all American comedies these days.

jkkk

+Carla Johnson not funny.

ㅠㅠ

😭😭😭

Damn go get it sis!!

Good heavens, do you 🤔 that he was dreamy back when he was as a young 👨🏻?

*Kim Possible ( Disney ).

@@steamboatwill3.367 I... have no idea who was Ben 10 but yes, the Ben 10 Franchise was Cartoon network, while yes we all know KP was from the Mouse. damn their oily hides for getting Blue Sky axed! Sorry for ..... being so hogwashingly attention seeking.

sounds like an extended version of the theme song

yep.

I was born on September 23rd, 1997
