Storyline[]
Before The Simpsons aired as a long-running television show on FOX in 1989, they were first featured as a series of shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show from 1987-1989. While the voice actors for each of the family members remained the same, the animation was much different on the shorts as compared to the main television series.
