As The Simpsons once said,

“A man who envies our family is a man who needs help”.
True enough.
The American animated sitcom just stepped into the three-series and we can’t help but feel old!
The characters may be frozen in time but the show itself has evolved in many ways over the years.
Having a successful 31 season run, including series, movie and short films, the yellow family is definitely ingrained in most of our childhoods (and adulthood, to be honest!)
Executive producer James L. Brooks was among those who paid tribute to the show.
Nostalgia is slapping me around today, the 30th anniversary of the first Simpsons show. Sentiment getting in some kicks.

Sam Simon, Matt Groening & David Silverman once more gather with me as I remember random key early moments word for word and wish for a retroactive group hug.
The current showrunner of the sitcom, Al Jean sort of gave fans an early Christmas present, confirming to BBC that a new film starring the characters is a ‘possibility’ and that the team has ‘worked on it a little’!
We definitely can’t wait to hear more of this but for now, let’s just sit back and see the love fans have got for The Simpsons!
