Same. In a rare moment my uncle switched away from ESPN to watch the premiere. I got to see the first episode the first day it aired.

I was 13 and The Simpsons were very important to me and my best friend at the time, we were big comedy nerds. We were stoked for this show, I think we went to his house to see the premiere. It didn't disappoint, and Futurama continues to be my favorite show of all time. That friend ended up being a reasonably successful comedy writer, unlike me, lol.

Feels like a long time ago now. Oh, I made myself sad.
