I wonder if anyone who saw this on Tracy Ullman could have possibly guessed that it would go on to become the most successful scripted television show of all time, animated or otherwise.
i never liked the rock a bye baby lullaby and i wont sing it if i ever have a kid. i mean its suppose to lull them to sleep but it paints an imagery of a cradle with a baby in it falling down,kinda disturbing
@journeymanX You know I never really thought much about it as a kid though I do recall thinking that was pretty violent for a lullaby. But you do have to wonder who originally wrote the song, let's be real, WHO the hell puts their baby's cradle up in a tree?
@SatoshiTheHalfJapMan No I'm not. I watched this short when I wrote this comment and I have watched it with better audio on my Season 1 DVD which includes this short, multiple times. And I've always heard, "dada". In "Lisa's First Word" Maggies says, "daddy" which to me sounds completely different from "dada". I could never hear "Good Night" whenever I watch this short, it's always been "dada" to me.
@bbSouthstreet he seems to be saying, "dad you totally psyched me dad, it was something about the brain and the mind and, could you be more specific?"
Initially, there were supposed to be several different kinds of brief animated sketches during "THE TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW"- however, because of the unexpected popularity of Matt Groening's creations, "The Simpsons" soon became the one and ONLY weekly cartoon seen during the program, from 1987 through 1989...just before they became a weekly half-hour series. The animation and voices were quite different from what we're used to seeing these days...
@micas96 Actually, my username is an homage to a successful gag gift I'd marketed several years ago - for the person who has everything.
How does one make the leap from the pure high-brow sophistication of "[y]ou filmed this shit with a fucking calculator," to oh-so-poetically gauging the "depth of thought" of others?
A better gauge of "depth of thought" is your crude, indecorous version of an old, tired, unfunny internet meme so as to appear witty, funny, interesting or cool.
@Ultranothing Well, not everything you say reflects your true intelligence. I said that as a joke, not to seem sophisticated in any way, I know it is old and not funny, that's why I posted the comment.
But well, each person has their own interpretation of a comment.
@xMidnaTheTwilix In the 1985 Film "Back to the Future", Michael J. Fox played the role of Marty McFly. In the scene right before he goes back to 1955, Marty is filming his friend, Dr. Emmett Brown, talking about his Time Machine. When 1955 Doc is watching the tape in a later scene, we see that the camera was constantly moving, making it hard to tell what was going on.
In short, they're saying the movement of the camera, plus the quality, reminds them of Marty's video.
@Burromovie oohhh, is that where i've seen this before??? i knew i'd seen it, but i didn't even know until today that the simpsons appeared in the 'tracey ullman show"
Some old kids songs are just kind of morbid (no use of a better word). Humpty dumpty fell off the wall and was broken into a million pieces. Jack and Jill fell down the hill, and Jack split open his head (broke his crown). Baby's crib fell over, and the baby fell to the ground. Let your imagination put together the rest. For example, how far did the baby fall, exactly.
@Zahnbuersteundpasta This is the first episode but it was on The Tracey Ullman Show. The christmas one was the first full episode. This is an episode short.
i saw a episode, where they talked about 1990 when Bart was 5! so now when its 2009, he must be 24! yh i made a mistake on my earlier 1, but u got my point
I wonder if anyone who saw this on Tracy Ullman could have possibly guessed that it would go on to become the most successful scripted television show of all time, animated or otherwise.
