I never saw the Tracy Ullman Show (The series that spun-off The Simpsons) but I did see her later show "Tracy Takes On...
" It was ok I guess....

I saw it when it was on FOX on Sunday nights. It was pretty good, not great, but good. At the time FOX was like the renegade network that did things that no other network would. During that time, the big networks would fill a Sunday with mostly dramas and Sunday Night Movies. So it was a nice change.

Thanks for your comments...I wonder if Comedy Central has ever aired it or will ever air it...

I remember watching the show as a little kid just to catch the "Simpsons" snippet.

I was too small to get Tracey's jokes.

I like the tracy ulman show alot. very clever. it only had 79 episodes but lifetime aired reruns of it for a few years, and then it went to comedy central for a very short run around 1996. hasn't been on anywhere after that.

At the time, that show was one of the few I'd watch on a regular basis.Tracy Ulman was extremely funny and the different characters she played were classics. I saw just the tail end of some show yesterday on HBO she starred in. I think she was the director or whatever because at the end she said her line from the old show, "Oh, go home". HBO most always runs shows more than once so keep an eye out, they'll probably run it again.

I was looking through my tv guide today, and the Oxygen channel caught my eye. I noticed that Tracey Ullman has a few time slots on that channel. I remembered reading this topic, so if anybody has Oxygen and wants to see the show- look in the tv guide for airings.

Tracey Ullman can be hilarious. She's a master of disquise, much like Martin Short. They can play an entire cast of characters for one skit, edited together of course.
Funny stuff.

That's not "The Tracy Ullman Show Show" that everone is talking about but a new show called "Tracy Ullman's Visiable Panty Lines"!

Tracy's Shows and where you can find them on TV:

The Tracy Ullman Show-It's no where to be found.

Tracy Takes On-Nightly at 7:30 Eastern on HBO Comedy.

Tracy Ullman's Visable Panty Lines-I'm not sure what days or times but I know it's on Oxygen!

Ah, I'm sorry. My tv guide only had Tracy Ullman, so I assumed it was TTUS. I didn't know she had a new show. Sorry guys.

The only really notable thing for me for this show was, of course, the launch of the Simpsons, the show that, IMO, saved Fox from eventual death
