The Simpson's 2009 Slim Appointment Calendar. The Simpson's began as a short animated video clip on the hit US television series "The Tracey Ullman Show" in 1987 and ran until late 1989. The Simpson's were successfully transferred to their own show in late 1989. The first series wowed US audiences when it first aired in 1990 and the Simpson's soon became a household name both in the UK and the US. This Simpson's slimline appointment calendar has been designed with the same hilarious comedy capers as the televisions series itself. This calendar is sure to brighten any wall or room. An excellent gift for any Simpson's fan! © 2008 Bongo Entertainment Inc. and Matt Groening Productions Inc. The Simpson's © & ™ Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
