The Tracey Ullman Show Shorts

During the first three seasons of the television variety show The Tracey Ullman Show, two different series of animated shorts were run before and after commercial breaks. One was created by cartoonist Matt Groening featuring a family known as The Simpsons and another was a lesser known series by M.K. Brown named Dr. N!Godatu.

The Simpsons

Good Night

"Good Night" was the first ever Simpsons short to air on The Tracey Ullman Show. The five main family members - Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie - were first introduced in this short. Synopsis: Homer tucks in Bart assuring him that he need not worry about the human brain. Marge tucks in Lisa telling her not to let the bed bugs bite, to which Lisa becomes frightend. As Marge tucks in Maggie, she sings Rock-a-Bye Baby while Maggie imagines falling to her death from a tree. When Marge and Homer go to bed, they feel satisfied, not realizing the kids have become too distraught to sleep as a result of them. They invite the kids to get in the bed with them, and everybody falls asleep shortly thereafter. Notes: Maggie can be heard saying "good night", something that has happened rarely throughout the run of the series. Quotes: Bart: Um dad, what is the mind? Is it just a simple of impulses or is it something tangible?
Homer: Relax. What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind. (laughs) Marge: Good night Lisa. Sweet Dreams. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite.
Lisa: Bed bugs?! Homer: We may be the best parents in the world.
Marge: Mmm, good night dear.
Homer: Good night.
(the children enter the bedroom screaming)
Marge: All right, climb in.
