The following is a list of the Simpson Shorts, and a short description of each one.  For those of you who don't know, the Simpson Shorts were little clips in the Tracy Ullman Show.  Now personally I only know Tracy Ullman through Ally McBeal, so I've never seen her show, or the shorts in it...but luckily I have a good friend, who's about as crazy about the Simpsons as I am, and who sent them to me.  So thanks for that Nimbus
