Yikes, I love the Simpsons but they are out of ideas. Maybe 1 last season to wrap it all up.
I was 19 and still had hopes and dreams when this show started?
It’s still running and my hopes and dreams are in the attic collecting dust :)
At least 500! I’ve been watching the Simpsons since they were just tiny part of The Tracey Ullman Show.
30 seasons and another movie!? /s
I cannot believe this show show has been on since I was 10!
I’m just 3 years away from turning 40.
Maybe I’m the odd man here, but for the life of me I cannot fathom why anyone watches the show.

I say that about baseball. ;-)
Your not alone - we have never watched one and never will. I have never watched ET either.
The first ten years were all great. But they have gone downhill since and gone from being even handed with politics to far left.
Will recently deceased cousin Elton al Jihadi Simpson have a role in the show?
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?
That is just about exactly my thoughts. When it first came on I loved it then after maybe 10 years it started to slide.
I no longer watch it but every now and then I will catch an episode while channel surfing. I have noticed that it now goes at too fast a pace to really keep up with.
The last one I watched (last Sunday) sucked big time. I do usually watch the Halloween specials. But even those don’t have the zing they once had.
Does that make it the longest running show ever?

Back when Smithers was Black.
I’m 35 myself. They started when I just a young kid. I literally grew up with the Simpsons. I’ll give them credit, for being a bunch of lefties, they’ve done well to keep MOST of their material free of politics. There have been some, but they don’t address them as obviously as, say, Seth MacFarland in Family Guy.
There’s a certain innocence to the Simpsons.

I always try to catch Treehouse of Horror. Other than that, I stopped watching 10+ years ago.
It used to be one of the best satirical shows on tv. It treated both sides of the political spectrum fairly evenly.
There was a comic who had her own variety show (Tracy Ullman), she had a cartoon short, called “the Simpsons”.
She said it was a time filler for the show, usually about 2-3 minutes.
That was in the late ‘70s.
Found this on youtube.
