N2 - Since its 1989 debut, The Simpsons has been a leviathan in the entertainment ecosystem. With over 762 episodes over 35 seasons, the show holds the titles of the longest-running American animated series, the longest-running American sitcom, and the longest-running American scripted primetime television series. Over its runtime, it’s evolved to stay relevant and conform to, even shape, the cultural zeitgeist. Yet, while this long history has afforded it critical acclaim, financial returns, and a pedigree of which most other shows could only dream, it also means that it faces a dilemma—the ravages of time.
