I guess enough people still love it to give it this long run. To me and many others, there than it's enjoyable theatrical film, it's been dead since the 90s.

I haven't watched the show in years...
I can't believe the show is still going on since "Bart will celebrate his tenth birthday for the thirty-third time"...
33 years without major changes to the show? LIKE: Bart growing up?... Sounds like I haven't missed much.

I stopped watching the show on a regular basis like 18-20 years ago, but i have seen episodes here and there over the years.
Probably about 7-8 months since i last watched the show.

I stopped watching it about 5 years ago or so. It did seem to improve from the 2000s to 2010, but I just got tired of it. Less laughs than the first 8 years of shows although I occasionally hear about an episode.

As long as it pulls in ratings/money, it will keep going even if many feel it's long past its prime.

The animation has come in leaps and bounds. Too bad the scripts are being written by an AI program.

I guess that’s not surprising.

Maybe they can reverse course and bring back Apu.

Unbelievable. This still must be a big cash cow for Fox, but I don't understand how it could be. The quality of the writing has rapidly declined over the years and it's basically been reduced to the level of a Saturday morning cartoon.

Maybe they'll finally have Lisa killed (murdered by Nelson? or maybe by Martin? or maybe by Milhouse?) and do all of season 33 without her until the last episode where Professor Frink invents a time machine and goes back to prevent Lisa's death.
