Little known fact: I singlehandedly vaulted the Simpsons to their fame. At the time, my family was chosen to be a Nielsen family during the premier of the show. The Nielsen box allowed us to input up to eight viewers, each representing 640,000 viewers. When I would tune into the Simpsons, I would fill all the brackets which represented over 5 million viewers. This increased their popularity and raised brand awareness for the animated show. Doing this at the beginning of the show vaulted them to the success they have today.
Oh... YOU'RE WELCOME!
