Growing up in Portland, Oregon, Matt Groening did not particularly like school, which is what originally turned him towards drawing. In the mid-1980s, he moved to Los Angeles and started drawing a comic strip named "Life in Hell" which eventually became published in the newspaper where he worked. In 1988, James Brooks, looking for a filler in the television show "The Tracy Ullman show", turned towards a framed "Life in Hell" strip on his wall and contacted Groening. The animated shorts that Groening created were "The Simpsons".

The only dramatic episode from the "good seasons" that strikes me as a total misfire. The handling of the theme of suicide is lacking in every regard.

Yeah, this one went dark. And I was considering whether to show these episodes to my kids, and this one definitely had me rethinking that idea.

the first one they ever wrote and it shows. a desperately dark turn that should've been crucial instead plays as a bizarre aside because no foundations were laid, which is indefensible given how much time was devoted to the horribly clunky bart "tomfoolery". the way that darkness dissipates is even less earned; turns out condensing capra down to 20 minutes ain't easy--not yet, anyway.
