    Fun fact:

    More time has passed between the first Simpsons movie and now than between the start of the series and the first Simpsons movie.

      Continuing the “fun…”

      Maggie’s first word at the end of the movie was “sequel.” If the Simpsons characters aged normally from that point, Maggie would be in her 20s by the time the sequel came out.

      If the Simpson aged normally from the time they were introduced, Maggie would be in her 40s.

    The Simpsons just needs to die now. Sometimes I wonder if the cast even want to do it anymore or if they just feel obligated because of how long it’s been going.

      They have been mailing it in for over a decade, the best characters were cut, it’s not even remotely funny because they can’t offend anyone.
