Happy 18th birthday, Simpsons!
The first episode of The Simpsons, titled "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" also known as "The Simpsons Christmas Special," premiered on this day in 1989 on the Fox Television — well, it wasn’t much of a network 18 years ago, but we have to call it that nowadays.
We mention it because nobody ever remembers birthdays around Christmas time.
But you’re still not getting a second present.
Just shoot me; I had to tell my son I "just didn't get" last Sunday's show.
I think you had to see "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" to really get it. Since I didn't see that movie, it really didn't quite click with me either. I just went with the flow. Besides. The Simpsons Movie DVD came out today so I'm happy! ;-)
