There's a widely-held belief among internet snobs that The Simpsons took a dip in quality in the late '90s/early '00s and has yet to fully recover. Nevertheless, TV's longest-running scripted show continues to roll along and to pull in a sizable audience every week as its landmark 25th season continues.
Simpsons showrunner Al Jean announced recently that the writers are killing off a character at the start of next season, but that's not the only change to the show in recent years. For those of you who stopped watching The Simpsons within the last decade or so and missed the most recent couple hundred episodes, we made a list of some surprising stuff that's happened to your beloved Springfield characters since 2003, like more character deaths, an unexpected wedding, and Homer and Marge's secret 12-season-long divorce. Or, for you Comic Book Guy-esque fans out there, you can just continue to treat everything after season 10 as non-canon.
