Synopsis

The Simpsons (1989), Season 1 — thirteen episodes you can watch online on iFILM, and the debut of a family that became impossible to avoid.

Homer works at the power plant and screws up regularly. Marge holds things together. Bart looks for trouble. Lisa thinks about everything too carefully. The first season runs as a string of standalone half-hours: Homer loses the Christmas bonus and moonlights as a mall Santa; Bart gets mislabeled a genius and sent to a school for gifted kids; Marge grows closer than she should to a smooth French bowling instructor; Bart is shipped to France on an exchange program and returns knowing a few words of French and a lot about how wine gets made dishonestly.

Matt Groening created the show with James L. Brooks and Sam Simon for FOX. The Christmas pilot won an Emmy in year one. This is the only season without a Halloween special — the Treehouse of Horror format came together the following year. Stream The Simpsons Season 1 online on iFILM, all thirteen episodes.
