The Simpsons Dropped a SURPRISE Series Finale

For the Season 36 premiere, The Simpsons has done something unprecedented. They aired a SURPRISE series finale. Sort of. As somebody who grew up OBSESSED with The Simpsons, it’s cool to say that the show is going through something of a renaissance. Since Matt Selman took over as showrunner in season 33, the show has started to feel fresher and like it has a renewed energy, but I think beyond that, the thing that’s really made me excited about the show again is the ways it’s been willing to experiment. And tonights’ premiere, Bart’s Birthday, is the PERFECT example of that new energy that The Simpsons is bringing to the table, embracing the show’s obscenely long and storied history to throw itself a premature series finale event. And it’s one that celebrates The Simpsons in a way that an actual series finale would never be able to, so let’s talk about The Simpsons season 36 premiere SLASH series finale.
