Housing is really expensive now, so retroactively every character that lived in a house is rich. Waltons? Rich. Dukes of Hazard? Rich. All in the Family? They actually paid off their mortgage during the run of the show, hella rich.

When I watched Oz I factored the property value of the prison complex into their individual wealth, so it was actually a fascinating insight into the 1%

The Simpsons started off as a family struggling to keep their heads above water in the post-Reagan USA, and now that Homer is an elder millennial he owns a single family 4 bedroom home (let's say its about 2500 sq ft but it could easily be 3,000 or more) and 2 cars with 3 kids. All on a single income and without a college degree.

They're HENRYs by every definition of the word in 2021.

I love the idea of "power hours". How do we get more production? What if we over work the over worked employees? Like they don't let employees use the rest room on the normal hours. How much more power do they expect to get out these "power hours"?

Homer is somewhere between 36 and 39 years old

I haven’t watched much of Simpson’s after like season 15 but at some point they need to retcon Skinner to either an Iraq/Afghanistan vet (or a gulf war vet) and grandpa to A Vietnam vet

by the sex ghost

the simpsons is a monument to the concept that "All good things must come to an end", a huge, dying husk of a sitcom that has become so immense that it doesn't cycle through staff and ideas so much as accrete them, and eventually when it has become sufficiently massive it will collapse into a singularity and rip a hole through the fabric of network television
