The Simpsons have been around for a very long time, but it can be sometimes hard to place those early episodes in their time periods. Sure, there are references to politicians, celebrities and events from the early 90’s that date it a bit, but on the whole, it’s aged incredibly well. So much so that watching this compilation of every commercial that ran alongside the premiere of the show is almost shocking. I mean, look at how old this stuff is! It’s amazing to see how dated the rest of American culture looks to us now when compared to how relevant those Simpsons episodes continue to be. That’s one major reason the show still gets as much love as it does.
