The Simpsons has now been going for a whopping 28 seasons and more than 600 episodes. It is the longest-running US sitcom in history, is regularly voted the best, and even has the brilliantly Springfieldian dubious honour of having predicted the ascent of President Trump more than 16 years ago.
The car designed by Homer for his auto-manufacturer half-brother in the 1991 episode O Brother, Where Art Thou featured lurid green bodypaint; leashes and muzzles to restrain "fighting kids"; a bonnet ornament depicting a 10-pin bowler, giant externally mounted cup holders, and a supersized horn that blasted out La Cucaracha. For the 2013 24 Hours of Lemons race – an annual parody of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race series, held in the US – Porcubimmer Motors recreated Homer's design in loving detail (right down to the La Cucaracha-blasting horn). 9. When someone invented a "real" baby translator A "cry translator" (designed to help parents interpret the sounds produced by their babies) hit the market in 2009. The website for the device claims: "in 3 seconds it will tell you the reason for crying".

In 2012, an outraged customer from Thiensville in Wisconsin, Bill Wisth, phoned the police and organised a picket, after an "all-you-can-eat" fish restaurant refused to continue serving him. Closer to home, the same year saw two men banned from a Brighton restaurant, after allegedly regularly abusing its "all-you-can-eat" rule.
Whatever your opinion of the new episodes, the show’s long-lasting appeal is undeniable — and that’s why it should call it quits. There’s just so many timeless moments from the past that we don’t need any new ones. So if you get sad at the prospect of no fresh yellow-people antics in the future, just think of that time Homer skateboarded off Springfield Gorge, or when Mully and Sculder made a cameo, or when Sideshow Bob stood on all the rakes.

In 2013, Homer's dream became a (sort-of) reality, when the Homer-ishly titled theme park Chocolate Happy Land opened in Shanghai. Attractions on offer at the park include a 400 square-metre castle formed from 160 chocolate stands, chocolate handbags, flower vases and jewellery, a chocolate recreation of China's terracotta army, and, according to this article in Time Out Shanghai, a chocolate Hello Kitty, and "mannequins wearing chocolate underwear and bikinis". 28.

The Simpsons is an animated sitcom about the antics of a dysfunctional family called the Simpsons (surprise surprise). Homer is the oafish unhealthy beer loving father, Marge is the hardworking homemaker wife, Bart is the ten year old underachiever (and proud of it), Lisa is the unappreciated eight year old genius, and Maggie is the cute, pacifier loving silent infant.

This month, the longest running prime time series in television history finishes its 28th season. We’re talking, of course, about The Simpsons. Since 1989, Matt Groening’s dysfunctional cartoon family has provided a conveyor belt of laughs for millions of viewers worldwide. 614 episodes, 27 ‘Treehouse Of Horror’s and more than 80 trips to the hospital (for Homer) later and it’s time to shut up shop. ‘Surely not?’ I hear you cry. ‘It’s an institution!’ That may well be, but there’s many reasons why the good ship Springfield should weigh anchor and sail gracefully off into the sunset. Here are some of the most convincing. Quality It’s long been argued that The Simpsons peaked creatively some time in its first 10 seasons. Unfortunately, it’s been all downhill since then. Greatest episode lists are strewn with well-known classic titles like ‘Last Exit To Springfield’, ‘Marge and the Monorail’ and ‘Homer The Great’ — all from series four to six. But who remembers ‘Homer Scissorhands’ or ‘The Wife Aquatic’? Exactly, no one. Furthermore, to all those saying ‘better B+ Simpsons than no Simpsons‘ I answer thus: it might look like B+ now, but wait until season 35 when they’ve really run out of ideas. Much better to stop now while it’s not too painful. Ratings The show’s ratings have been declining for several years now and in 2017 they’re lower than ever. Episode 14 ‘Fatzcarraldo’ pulled in only 2.4 million US viewers on February 12, far below earlier seasons’ average of more than 20 million. See below for a graph illustrating the decline. What’s clear from this data is that the franchise has been on a serious slide since about 2005. Now ratings aren’t everything, but no one wants to see a beaten man pummelled further. The show should quit now and retain some dignity. Toddwschneider.com The focus has shifted Recently, Homer and Co. have been making headlines for their weird psychic powers. It turns out that the show has predicted the future on a spooky number of occasions. First there was The Rolling Stones’ endless touring, then plonker Trump’s election as president and most recently Lady Gaga’s Superbowl performance. This is all well and good, but the trend also proves that people aren’t talking about the latest episodes anymore. Instead, viewers are reminiscing about past moments, some more than ten years old. A sure sign that a franchise is going down the pan. Retirement and death Back in 2015 Simpsons legend Harry Shearer quit. The voice of countless iconic characters from the show (Burns, Ned Flanders, Skinner etc) and veteran of 26 seasons had finally decided to pack it in. It was a worrying time for Springfield fans. Thankfully the 73-year-old changed his mind two months later and signed on for another two seasons, but you can bet it won’t be long before he starts thinking about leaving again. In sadder news, actress Marcia Wallace (voice of Edna Krabappel) passed away in 2013 after 24 years working on the show. More recently, longtime writer Kevin Curran died at his Los Angeles home in late 2015. The Emmy-winning scribe had been on staff since 2001. What this proves is that the old guard are moving on. Original cast-members and creative brains behind the series’ unprecedented success are retiring or falling ill and its time to stop while the going’s still good.

Andreas Antona Chef Owner Andreas Antona’s early years were spent working in kitchens in Germany and Switzerland, providing him with excellent training. Since then, he has worked with some of the biggest names in the chef world, including Michael Quinn MBE, Britain’s first celebrity chef and Anton Mosimann OBE. He left London to work in the Midlands and it was in the renowned Plough and Harrow in Birmingham where he began winning international acclaim. In 1993, Andreas opened his first restaurant Simpsons in Kenilworth and was among the first restaurants in the area to win a Michelin star. Andreas left the kitchen to focus on life as a restaurateur and took over The Cross in Kenilworth in 2013, he is also part of the team behind Pure Bar & Kitchen in Birmingham.
In 2015, a German man named Patrick Priebe decided to take a break from his full-time job building laser gadgets (as if that wasn't impressive enough), and create a working version of Homer's hammer. Priebe's electric hammer was built from scratch, primarily from aluminium, and powered by an 80.5-volt, 1,000-mAh lithium-polymer battery. Given the relatively limited movement of the head, the finished product looks as if it would be significantly less destructive than Homer's version – but it does prevent the user from having to pull their arm back for each strike of the hammer. Both Homer and Edison would be proud.

In 2013, a British man named Bart Simpson, accused of carrying a prohibited firearm, was called to appear before a judge named Mr. Burns at Warwick Crown Court. 56-year-old company director Simpson (full name Barton Simpson) was caught with a .38 Smith and Wesson revolver in his hand luggage at Birmingham Airport.
