Meet Bart And Homer At Blockbuster — November 1990

Believe it or not Fox used that funky jungle beat to promote The Simpsons in all advertising for its first season, instead of their actual theme song.

That 39th and Powell Blockbuster stuck around until the franchise’s demise. I had a rental that I came to return only to find the doors forever locked. I threw it in the slot anyway. “Why didn’t you keep it?” people asked me. Because I didn’t care for the movie!
