03 "The Tracey Ullman Show" Simpsons History

It was under the suggestion of Pauly Platt, a "Life in Hell" (see Sec 2.2)
fan in the "Tracey Ullman Show" offices, that brought Simpsons creator Matt
Groening to work on _Ullman_.

According to Producer/Director David Silverman, production on the _Ullman_
Simpsons shorts lasted approximately four weeks. Currently, production takes
approximately six months for an episode of The Simpsons.

The four animators of the totallity of the _Ullman_ shorts (David, Wesley
Archer, Bill Kopp, Tim Berglund) got together working on the 1986 movie "One
Crazy Summer" and its brief animated segments, before getting the opportunity
to animate the _Ullman_ shorts with the then-relatively new animation company
Klasky-Csupo.
