Information for the Episode Guide was collected by viewing The Tracey Ullman Show
on The Comedy Channel on Foxtel (an Australian pay TV provider). Additional information
was taken from documents by Don Del Grande and Roger Reini at
The Simpsons Archive, to whom I am grateful. The Guide
is unfortunately incomplete, and I would be indebted to anyone who can supply me with the
missing information.
The following points should be noted: | ||
 | The names below are those of the sketches in each program. | |
| The Simpsons segments are shown in bold. | |
| The first column contains the production code for each episode. | |
| Five episodes in season 1 contain the animated adventures of Dr N!Godatu (shown in italics) instead of the Simpsons; these are not particularly funny. | |
| Two episodes in season 3 and two in season 4 are clip shows of Tracey’s other characters and do not contain Simpsons shorts. | |
| There are no Simpsons shorts in season 4 (except a repeat of Simpson Xmas in 7W11). | |
| In seasons 1 and 2, the Simpsons appear as three or four separate acts; in season 3, they appear as a single sketch. | |
| Season 3 includes a number of short leaders (bumpers) between sketches, depicting backstage activities. | |
| See the episode capsules at The Simpsons Archive for more information. | |
| The standard screening plan for each show is indicated in the last column of each table. The following symbols are used: |
