The Simpsons have been around for so long that they have forgotten their essence. Is there a way back?


I always loved The Simpsons. I find them funny and a little bit dumb, but also complexly thought out and well planned. It is a combination of the simplest storyline with the most well-thought-out jokes. Is a constant mixture between dumb and complex, and that is what makes the show not only amazing, but also makes the viewers get engaged enough, so they become full-time fans. It's no news for anybody that the series has been in a free fall for a couple of years. They went from creative writing to the copy-paste of boring stories. It has come to a point where everything seems repetitive and not genuine at all. But is there a way to fix this?

I won't lie, I don't hate the new seasons as much as everyone else. Of course they are incomparable to the previous years, and the magic of it is long gone. But that doesn't mean that the show is bad. I believe that the problem with it is not the way they want to adapt to new eras or the overexaggeration of character traits. The problem seems much simpler. It has run for too long. There is no reason to continue developing a show that has been exploited for so long if there's nothing new to add. It's the same thing over and over, but less thought put into it and without the love for it that the creators had in the beginning.

In my opinion, there isn't a going back. The Simpsons will never go back to what they were. Or at least not if the creators continue to develop new seasons back to back without taking two minutes to think of a good reason to do so. If they let it rest for a bit, then maybe something actually interesting and original could come back for that. But at the current pace at which they are developing the seasons, we can forget about getting the show we all loved again. The good thing is that the older episodes will always be available to rewatch and remember what the series was like before it went downhill.
