Having run for almost 30 years (and counting!), The Simpsons is the longest-running sitcom in the world.
As with all popular cartoons, however, a number of fans will argue that things can get stale around the middle of their duration, and The Simpsons are absolutely no exception to this rule. Some say that around seasons 10-11, the show lost its way and became a parody of itself.
Yet this is only an opinion held by some fans, and we'd like to give a shoutout to Simpsons fan blog, FY Springfield, for upholding the idea that the show didn't lose its way over seasons 10-11, Simpsons jokes merely changed comic direction.

Little trivia, all simpsons characters have four fingers. Yet god is always depicted with five fingers.
You don't throw away your lunch box when you're done eating, you bring it back home with you.
Yep, that's absolutely true. Sorry guys - be helpful if you were clairvoyants!
Alas so true , the portion size decrease is a truly major problem in the modern world sadly
That's one of the best gags if the entire show. Simpson men killed her twice.
I'm of the opinion that the early seasons were better (they had less direct pop culture references, for one thing), but that doesn't mean NOTHING in the later episodes were funny, just that they tended not to be as good as a whole when you compared the separate seasons.
True as your comment may be, the earlier seasons were filled with direct pop culture references, but from the 80s and 90s. If you weren't around then, you're less likely to notice them as quickly.

My mom constantly nagged at him about it but that didn't make him reverse that decision and the jokes went over my head anyway. 25 years later and I've been watching The Simpsons every Sunday with my dad since. I don't care what anyone says. That show is still hilarious. I actually love it even more NOW because I am an adult and thus old enough to grasp the pop culture nods. Obviously, I can understand the older episodes but they're dated. During the major holidays and FXX runs those Every Simpons Ever marathons, the only older ones I watch are the Treehouse of Horror ones. *shrug* But I seem to be in the minority. I get that, though I still think The Simpsons are great.
