Currently the longest running animated show of all time, The Simpsons has become a staple in television history. They've managed to push the limits of how a simple cartoon can entertain a variety of individuals. Whether you're a child, a teenager, adult or senior, chances are you can find something of value in this show.
However, despite being a juggernaut in television hall of fame, a lot of viewers and even die-hard fans agree that the show has run its course. The writing isn't as strong or meaningful as it used to be and later seasons are constant reminders that the creators are running out of ideas for the Simpson family.
However, that doesn't mean that the show is completely out of gas. While they still manage a heartfelt or tear-jerking moment, they've also been dabbling in the more dark and grim side of their writing. Some of it has been a welcomed change of pace while others have been considered crossing the line. Why don't you be the judge?
