It’s hard to imagine a television institution more beloved or venerated than The Simpsons, the ridiculously long-running animated show with a staggering 530 episodes plus a feature-length movie to its credit, as well as an enormous cast of supporting characters easily numbering into the hundreds. Beginning in 1987 with its crudely drawn shorts on the long-forgotten Tracey Ullman show, to the present day merchandising juggernaut it has evolved into, the Simpsons has grown into a massive cultural force, whose influence can be seen from South Park to Adult Swim.
Having such a long and convoluted past, with many different writers and producers, there are inevitably many continuity errors within the series that you may not be aware of.
Here’s your chance to brush up on some of the more absurd plot-holes of the series history before the 25th season begins on September 29.
