[ABiSiN3AD]

Here because I wanted to see how Milhouse came about:-) (OMG-Facts).

[RodaSmash]

Nowadays a candy company calling their candy bar nutritious (when it's obviously not) would be freakin' crucified..

[Fruitcake8me]

OMG Facts!

[HumphreyTheWolf]

First time Milhouse was ever seen.

Sad he's been here for so long and still isn't a meme.

[68corvette08]

This should be on a future episode.

[68corvette08]

Now, this was still the time era when The Simpsons were still being shown on the Tracey Ullman Show, am I correct?

but didn't get their own show or look like that until 1990

@072972ification, relax. stig422 was making reference to a Simpson's episode where Homer and Bart were TV shopping and Homer said..."I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see it. And look, there's Magnetbox and Sorny."

[sqweebs2]

[calideson]

For years I thought Milhouse's first appearance was in the first episode, the Christmas one

[puccaperson]

By just watching this I see what you mean!

[Thompsonnw]

1990

[Crommy5]

@Thompsonnw, look at the date in the lower left corner at start. You might need some glasses tho.

[Thompsonnw]

@Crommy5 I have glasses dude, I just have a hard time seeing though.

[Crommy5]

@Thompsonnw, I hear ya Bro. My monitor gets closer and closer every year.

[Thompsonnw]

@Crommy5 Maybe I should use a magnifing glass.

[Crommy5]

@Thompsonnw, LOL!!

[jakesaintsrow123]

@Crommy5 Hey, I Do gotta ask..Didn't Simpsons come out On tv in 1989 sometime? Unless before that they were doing commercials for Nestle's Butterfinger?

[Crommy5]

@jakesaintsrow123, The Simpsons actually got their start on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987, as short one minute bumpers going in and out of commercials, and lasted on her show until May 1989. The Simpsons series debuted on Fox in Dec 1989. Dan Castellaneta and Julie Kavner landed the jobs of voicing Homer and Marge Simpson because they were cast members of Ullman's show.

[stig422]

recorded on a genuine magnetbox vcr

[Marbles471]

Wow, if this is 1988, this means Milhouse's first appearance was actually in a commercial. He wasn't in any of the Ullman shorts, was he?

[Crommy5]

@Marbles471, you are right. According to Wikipedia's entry for Milhouse Van Houten, he was created specifically for the Butterfinger commercial. His first appearance was in the first full episode broadcast, "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" on December 17, 1989. Wow, time is flying by.

[Dylanbigdaddy]

Neato!

[RetroToledo]

@Dylanbigdaddy Funny I remember Bart saying that in this ad!

[chipdrusano]

I remember this aired during the simpsons episode "The Grapes Of Wrath" way back in the spring of 1990! Who would've thought the simpsons would still be airing on tv to this day! BTW,The Simpsons will be making its 23rd season this coming fall 2011.
