minus-squareMunkyNutts@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up31·2 months agoNow how about the Tracy Ullman show? Not sure if there were any other characters beside the family.
minus-squarespankinspinach@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoTIL my favorite show growing up was spun off the Tracy Ullman show. I’d never looked into it, I had no idea 🤔
minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoYeah, they would air shorts that slowly played out what amounted to a single episode.
minus-squarespankinspinach@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoOh cool! Kind of like the idea of a serial (in newspapers where they’d do a chapter of a book a week or whatever)?
minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoYeah, like that. That’s also how they would run serial shows at movie theaters before TV. Simpsons only got one story before it became it’s own thing, though.
