Why didn't simpsons build up the fact that mr burns had a son until the eighth season?

Seriously, characters popping out of nowhere in the second season of a show really shouldnt be a big deal. Especially considering this is an episodic comedy series with occasional hints of continuity. It shouldnt have to establish things long before they ever get to have them being a focus, because this isn't a series that runs of full story arcs, or a completely planned story for the entire series to follow.
