While The Simpsons has changed a lot over the decades, I was delighted to see the show revive one welcome series staple in season 36. As of 2025, The Simpsons is the longest-running scripted primetime American TV show in history, with over 780 episodes to its name. The Simpsons season 37's renewal ensures that this number will climb even higher in the coming years, and The Simpsons season 36's Disney+ specials DWDWQ prove that it is still experimenting and taking creative risks even in its fourth decade.
