S1 E2: Problems plagued the launch of The Simpsons, causing it to miss its original debut date and throwing the future of the entire series into question. When the pilot finally aired in December of 1989, it wasn't the first episode produced, but a last-minute replacement entitled "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire." What happened next was a Christmas miracle that resonates to this day.
