The Simpsons
The Simpsons, the most successful animated series ever, was a spin-off from The Tracey Ullman Show . Originally appearing on that series as a 1 minute filler, the executive producers of that series, James L. Brooks & Sam Simon decided that these characters could support a half hour series. So they did it and started the longest running animated series in primetime network television.
Watch the Simpsons every weeknight at 6pm and 12am on The CW 44cable12.
