Anyway... Happy New Year, to all.  Young ''and'' old. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.152.227|162.158.152.227]] 20:10, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Simpsons became it's own show on the 17th December 1989. Prior, it was featured on The Tracey Ulman show. The first Tracey Ulman short aired on April 19th 1987. It may have been CREATED in 1986, however.[[Special:Contributions/162.158.152.119|162.158.152.119]] 01:50, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
 
 
I think Mr. Ford and others would dispute that Cars are only 10 years old. While _I_ may have walked to school (in the snow) (uphill (both ways)), I knew others driving back then. :p [[Special:Contributions/108.162.221.33|108.162.221.33]] 04:41, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
 
:The Cars may be 40 years old, but even if the FX are lousy by todays standard, "You Might Think" is brilliant as ever. :P [[Special:Contributions/162.158.90.211|162.158.90.211]] 13:02, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 
 
Oh man, this was a year ago already! Time really is passing quickly. {{unsigned|LuigiBrick}}

The (valid) speculation that Mission: Impossible inspired the wire-dangling entrance is tarnished by it being smashed through the ceiling and otherwise unsubtle. I'd have said it was more inspired by Minority Report, as the first example of a rope-descent intrusion that comes to mind, but that was 2002 (wow... 20 years ago... not actually sure if that feels longer ago or less so, the last couple of years may have done funny things to my sense of time passing... or that might just be me and my own advancing years). No doubt this otherwise fairly standard action-trope existed in the more violent form in plenty of other films from other years ending in a 6, and probably multiple notable instances. (However, the most obvious {{w|You Only Live Twice (film)|James Bond example}}, the earliest I could definitively recall myself, was released in 196'''''7'''''. Darnit.) Still, an interesting idea. 14:46, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
