While The Simpsons left one early-season staple unmentioned for years, season 36 brought back this classic gag in the darkest way possible. The Simpsons season 37’s renewal has not yet been announced, but the long-running show certainly isn’t afraid of taking risks despite its uncertain future. The Simpsons may never age but the series itself has undergone some big changes in recent years, moving from gag-centric writing to more character-focused plots and undertaking risky experiments when it comes to the show’s storytelling style. Season 36’s first few outings proved that this approach is paying off handsomely.
