dec 17, 1989 - The Simpsons Premieres
Description:
Fox debuted The Simpsons in primetime, wildly succeeding in attracting both adult and child viewers simultaneously. It shattered the industry assumption that animation was exclusively a children's format, ending the cartoon ghetto of Saturday morning and opening the door to every subsequent prime-time animated series while permanently complicating the regulatory category of children's content.Added to timeline:
