A banner year for the cartoon family, The Simpsons. Bart and family showed up for the first time as a series of short animated segments on The Tracey Ullman Show.
It was also the year that actor Pierce Brosnan won and then lost the role of “James Bond”. NBC had put his series Remington Steele on hiatus for six months, then unexpectedly renewed it, forcing Brosnan to back out of the film. NBC then canceled Remington Steele
