The Simpsons Come Of Age

Would you believe it if I told you that the TV show “The Simpsons” turned 18 years old last Sunday (September 10, 2006)?

To think that it all started as a series of small shorts that aired before and after ad breaks on The Tracey Ullman Show (1987-1989)… It’s definitely being a long way since then.

What a better way of celebrating this coming of age than driving down memory lane and enjoying a glance through all the 48 original episodes, courtesy of the really great people at Simpson Crazy.

It’s amazing to be able to witness first-hand the quick evolution, at the level of drawing and voice acting of this popular series. Some of my favourite are:
