I've never understood why s1 seems to sit outside what is considered the classic era of The Simpsons. It's rough as poo poo, and we've all watched them to death, but it was pioneering and grabbed everyone instantly. There's some fantastic stories in that first season.

Other than characters whose actors died, are there any characters who were really big in early Simpsons who have just faded away or disappeared with the passage of time?

Like, in early South Park, characters like Officer Barbrady, Stan's Uncle Jimbo and Dr Mephesto are prominent supporting characters, but they haven't been now for years and years.

Characters who feel like relics of the early years, I suppose, whose presence in an episode alone reminds you of how old it is.

I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just some QB that I used to know
Barbrady figured heavily in a season or two ago.

The psychiatrist on the Simpsons only appeared early on I believe.

The voices in the first episode of Futurama were completely different too, everyone sounded sleepy and the whole episode was about that job chip that never came up again because they needed an excuse to get everyone together. Comedy pilots and animation pilots are notoriously bad, it finds its feet in the first few episodes and after that it's fine.

The job chips actually do come back, thanks for outing yourself as a halfass Futurama fan!

Fair enough - I haven't seen any of the last few years of South Park (never really felt like sitting down and watching the serialised ones).

A great character too, useful for appearing on Kent Brockman's shows to 'explain' things.

Some people might answer "Bleeding Gums Murphy" and "Dr. Marvin Monroe", but that would be wrong-- they were never popular.

It's the season with the most heart.

Although The Call of The Simpsons is definitely one of the worst episodes of Actual Real Simpsons Before It Died Forever And Was Replaced By A Grotesque Mockery of Itself.

Also I'm gonna say outside of the kind of unfortunate movie-based seasons, the Futurama revival was more good than bad. Yeah there are some preeeeetty bad episodes but also some of the best in the whole series.

The best part is that gossipers literally can't believe that they're actually dating, depending on who you ask Scarlett is cheating on him constantly or they're both gay and are in a fake relationship.
