    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.

  I’ll start my own pilot, with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the blackjack. Ah, screw the whole thing.

  We have all seen too many body bags and ball sacks.

  Every once in a while an anniversary comes around that makes me feel very old.
