December 17, 1989, was the original air date of the first full episode. The Simpsons had 30-second bits on The Tracey Ullman Show beginning in 1987

The first whole episode was not the first time they were on TV, though. Like the above person said, they started on the Tracy Ullman show with little sketches before and after commercials.

December 17, 1989. They were a 30 second cartoon on the Tracey Ullman Show before they had their own sitcom.

Yeah their first appearance were as short clips on the Tracy Ullman show. Wow, if you remember the way they were drawn then compared to now it's crazy.
