That 90's Show is pretty cringey and attempts to ret-con Marge and Homer's relationship as taking place during the 90's. It also goes for the usual lazy jokes you'd expect like Boy Bands, Grunge Rock, early internet, etc.

This is the problem with having a show that's on for years with characters that never age. The writers eventually forget what kind of generation the older characters are supposed to represent and so their backstories get fucked up.

Since this is essentially a general Simpsons thread I thought I'd ask this:

What was your introduction to the show?

I was aware of the show when I was around 8 or so. I think it was the toy commercials where I first became aware. I even had a few of the Burger King dolls. But I never actually watched until I was around 10 and stumbled upon a Treehouse of Horror marathon on Fox. Me being a horror fan I absolutely loved it and after the first episode ended I begged for more and more episodes played on throughout the night. I think they ran the first 5-6 Treehouse of Horror episodes that night.

Watching it with my family as a wee lad. They were okay with me watching family guy as well, so that was something.

See, my dad refused to let me watch South Park or Family Guy, but only because he watched them himself. So I grew up on Simpsons, every weekday night from 6 to 7. I think my first "live" one was "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson".
 
I wasn’t allowed to watch Simpson as a kid, but I caught most of an episode at a friend of my dad’s house. It was the episode that introduced the one-armed guy that ran the army surplus store.
 
The earliest one I seem to remember is Homer Loves Flanders. But yeah, every week night on BBC2 at 6pm was Simpsons time (until they moved to Channel 4 and fucked it up). I do remember watching Family Guy's early seasons after my mum mentioning she saw it, noted the conversation Peter and Brian had about The Count from Sesame Street killing people and drinking their blood and Meg getting the superpower of growing her fingernails and thought I'd like it too. She never really let me watch South Park though, she thought it was too crude but that didn't stop me (Channel 4 showing it at stupid times did!).
 
I remember my uncle giving me a Bart Simpson toy but I lost it somewhere. I don't remember what episode I first watched but I think it was a Season 3 episode.

My sister and I made it a tradition that even if we aren't going to regularly watch the Simpsons, we would still try to catch Treehouse of Horror.

I was in second grade in 1990 during the height of Bart Simpson mania. The first episode I remember watching the night it came out was The Crepes of Wrath because it aired during spring break and I was at my grandparents' house with my cousin.

I first watch the show when I was like 4 or 5 and saw the Christmas episode when it first aired. I feel old!
 
The callback to the monorail is alright but the episode could've done better and once again potential wasted.

Sadly for me even this season's Family Guy is better than Simpsons.

Agreed! Family Guy has been surprisingly inventive in this season so far.
