They jumped the shark at about the 8th season. It went downhill when Phil Hartman was murdered. The original writers quit. The rest of the good writers left for Futurama. I haven’t been able to sit through any of the recent episodes.

Same with me. I use to complain about Beavis and Butthead, never watched it, but once, I got trapped in some Northern city because I was sick, marooned in a motel, and watched that show for the first time. I laughed my head off.

I remember on one show... Springfield was hosting a candidate debate...so they had the new channels trucks and CBS,ABC and NBC had vote Gore on the trucks and Fox News had a huge banner Bush/Cheney Ree election Committee. :-)

“I for one welcome our new insect overlords”.
It was good for about eight years.

I haven’t watched much of it since the 90’s. I have a question for Simpson Fans though... they clearly established that Homer was a teenager in the 1970’s and got married in the early to mid 80’s.

Now that it’s gone on so long, do they say he was a teen in the 90’s, or are they still having the 1970’s as the days he was a teen?

The characters don't age, so their past is part of a floating timeline. The creators are aware of the mess the show's longevity makes of continuity. They just don't care, do whatever they want, and occasionally make jokes about it.

Marge and Homer graduated in 1974. That would make them old enough to be putting in for retirement soon. (I dated a guy who graduated in ‘74 back in the 70’s)

Since Bart was “unexpected” and his presence forced his parents nuptials, let’s say he was born in 1975 - 1976 at the latest. This means that Bart, (and Lisa) are in their early 40’s Maggie, late 30’s.

I watch the originals on Tracy Ullman in the late 1980’s. With my oldest child, who is now 34!!

Thank God for animated kids who don’t age.!

There are adults alive today who weren’t born when The Simpsons was still funny and relevant.

They’re approaching Lawrence Welk Record.

The Irish have an all Gaelic television channel, very funny to see The Simpsons translated into Gaelic.
