		Tracey Ullman (December 30, 1959 -), British comedienne, actress, and singer who is most famous for being the host of a variety television show bearing her name.

		Her US television show, "The Tracey Ullman Show" earned four Emmies and spawned "The Simpsons", which was featured in very simple cartoon shorts.

		"Tracey Ullman" (born December 30, 1959 in Slough, Berkshire, England) is a British comedienne, actress, and singer who is most famous for being the host of a variety television show bearing her name.
		Ullman was unsuccesful and viewed by some as trying to greedily cash in on a project that she could not show in court that she had any hand in creating.
		Ullman returned to HBO in the summer of 2005, with a special of her autobiographical one-woman stage show, "Tracey Ullman: Live and Exposed".

	BBC - Comedy - Guide - The Tracey Ullman Show
		The format of the show capitalised on Ullman's acting ability and mastery of dialects and characterisation by placing her in different comedy playlets each week, some only a few minutes long, some lasting for more than half the programme.
		Also, the pace of the shows was perhaps too slow for British audiences, and the nature of the sketches - which embraced pathos, desperation and dramatic situations - was not of a style to which British audiences respond well (witness the critical slamming that Diana and Thompson accrued).
		Ullman must have been disillusioned with her home country's response, although - being British herself - she probably could have predicted the cynical reception it was bound to receive.

	Tracking Tracey - An Interview with Tracey Ullman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Her show was an unlikely bet for Fox to place, but their hesitance was certainly modified by a staff with television pedigrees up the wazoo.
		Tracey's impersonation of a current American teenager is so accurate it's frightening, and it's just one of many eclectic recurring characters on the show.
		Tracey says she always bases a character on someone she knows, which may explain why they're never surface impersonations, why she never seems to be making fun or condescending.

	Tracey Takes On: Sex, Romance, Fantasy \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Tracey Ullman Show, Tracey Ullman's eccentric comic-anthology series of the late '80s and early '90s, is best known for introducing The Simpsons to the public, but it was also an interesting, uneven show that revealed Ullman to be a talented if mannered comic actress.
		For someone so acclaimed for her range, Ullman's characters are all pretty similar: Her working-class characters are broadly drawn grotesques that frequently lapse into vulgarity; her male characters are either prissy or Neanderthal; and her female middle- to upper-class characters rarely come off as anything beyond clever caricatures.
		Her show, however, would benefit from a greater emphasis on writing and less emphasis on turning its star into a one-woman wax museum of sideshow freaks.

		I don't think The Tracey Ullman Show, which aired just four seasons on FOX from 87-90, was on long enough to jump the shark.
		The Tracy Ullman Show never jumped, and her LP "You broke my heart in seventeen places" was also pretty good.
		My uncle was a bodyguard on the set of the Tracy Ullman show, and he said that everyone in the cast was down to earth and nice, except for Tracy, who he said was a total bitch.

		The characters in the shorts were voiced by the show's cast members (Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Yeardley Smith, and Nancy Cartwright) and eventually every episode of Ullman's program would have three Simpsons shorts linked by a common plot such as Bart going to get a haircut.
		When "The Tracey Ullman Show" finished a four season run in 1990, "The Simpsons" was reborn as a full-length show and became the driving force behind FOX's growth into a major network.
		As Marge and Homer say goodnight to the kids, Bart philosophically ponders the workings of the mind; Lisa hears Marge say, "Don't let the bedbugs bite," and fears that the bedbugs will eat her; Maggie listens to Marge sing "Rock-a-Bye-Baby" and is traumatized by the lyrics.

		In fact, "The Tracey Ullman Show" was a bigger hit in America than when it aired on the BBC; too bad.
		This playlet show (most of the pieces were too long to qualify as "sketches") was a great showcase for Trace and her fellow players, most notably Julie Kavner and Dan Castellaneta (though I suppose we shouldn't overlook Sam McMurray [especially as the Tom Jones-type Gulliver Dark] and even Joseph Malone).
