I tried out the current season premiere of the Simpsons. Man, that thing isn’t even running on fumes anymore.
For those of you who deny that The Simpsons jumped the shark 15 years ago, can we agree that it’s over now? theverge.com/2015/5/14/8604…

The lone threat to The Simpsons’ immortality is a dispute about who gets to have obscene wealth instead of merely insane wealth. Go America!
