In the beginning episode of The Simpsons, we see there being a large emphasis being placed on morals and family values. Not the joke machine it later became. Not that I mind it. Mushy Simpsons aren't necessarily bad either as there's still plenty of irrelevancy to be found.
For the main family, very much of what we know and love is present. There's pieces missing to make it feel whole, but that's understandable considering the daring nature of it and how time has dated this. Obviously nothing like it airing in '89 though. Homer's a lovable oof, Bart is an underachiever, etc.
A rugged beginning but there is so much more to follow. But overall this is a sweet opening which successfully established a long lasting legeacy. Stay tuned. It'll only get better.
