	Who turned The Simpsons into a cartoon? By Chris Suellentrop
		Another reason for the decline of the Simpsons, perhaps, is that the writers forgot whom the show was about.
		To celebrate the milestone, Entertainment Weekly picked the top 25 episodes in Simpsons history: Twenty-four of them come from 1997 or before, meaning that only one comes from the past five seasons (which, not coincidentally, is the time period from which EW selected its "Worst Episode Ever").
		The newspaper also asked Simpsons staff members to select their 15 favorite moments and episodes, and only one person (Al Jean, the show's executive producer) chose something that happened within the past five years.

		James Gandolfini was initially opposed to the murder of Richie Aprile; however, the writers and HBO disagreed and he was killed in Episode 25, "The Knight in White Satin Armor".

		The show topped virtually every "Best TV Show" list in its debut season in 1999, with the New York Times calling it "the greatest work of American popular culture in the last 25 years".

	Encyclopedia: Francis I of France
		Not only did Francis support a number of major writers of the period, he was a poet himself, if not one of immense quality.

	Encyclopedia :: Situation comedy
		One example of this is the animated situation comedy The Simpsons, where the characteristics of animation has rendered the characters unchanging in appearance forever—although the characters in the show have sometimes made knowing meta references to this (the writers have made reference to that by calling The Simpsons a "frozen-in-time" show).
		The first situation comedy is often said to be Sam and Henry which debuted on the Chicago, Illinois clear-channel station WGN in 1926, and was partially inspired by the notion of bringing the mix of humor and continuity found in comic strips to the young medium of radio.
		Traditionally, situation comedies were largely self-contained, in that the characters themselves remained largely static and events in the sitcom resolved themselves by the conclusion of the show.

	List of fictional U.S. Presidents - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since the office of President of the United States is somewhat hallowed, fiction writers often choose to 'invent' a president in their stories to prevent a real one from being possibly insulted, to avoid having their stories become 'dated' over time, for dramatic license, or to provide literary flexibility.
		President MacNeil has a rather inexplicable cameo appearance in the first episode of Lost In Space, which was set in the then-future year of 1997, despite the fact that there was no way he could still have been elligiable for office at that time.
		President Chastity Bono was mentioned in The Simpsons episode "Bart to the Future" and was president sometime before Lisa Simpson.

	List of political epithets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coined by writers of the animated television show, The Simpsons, the phrase was repeated by the political right in the United States and the United Kingdom in the run-up to the Iraq War, especially by Jonah Goldberg.
		This epithet for impractical political and social philosophies that emerge from emotionalism and spirituality, rather than rational, philosophical and scientific views, is sometimes used pejoratively as "New Age." Use by religious conservatives, scientists and others has caused the term "New Age" to sometimes have a derogatory connotation.

		All quoted material and episode summaries remain property of The Simpsons, Copyright of Twentieth Century Fox.
		This episode was obviously an exercise in nonlinear storytelling, but if its notions of story-telling economy and plot resolution rub off on the regular episodes, well, then so much the better.
		I believe that Matt [Selman] has a personal talent for writing episodes where the whole family is the star, as "Trilogy of Error" proves that fact [indisputably].

	[3F16] The Day the Violence Died
		I try not to be too critical of "The Simpsons" because I enjoy them as escapism, but, if I were grading that episode, I would give it a C+.
		All in all, a B- episode, raised to a B by an absolutely brilliant skewering of "Schoolhouse Rock" near the end.
		Don Del Grande - A-minus - one of the better episodes this season, although it did slow down slightly at the beginning of the third act, and the ending was sort of "hanging".

	List of neologisms on The Simpsons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the episode "Home Away From Homer", Lisa listens to a radio program on obscure music, and hears the host refer to a guest as a banjologist, using ology as the suffix for the study of a subject (or sometimes the subject itself, although this is technically incorrect).
		Indeed the DVD commentary for the episode Lisa the Iconoclast makes a point of reinforcing that "embiggen" and "cromulent" are completely made up by the writers and have since taken on a life of their own via the internet and other media.
		From the episode "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson".

	The Simpsons Archive: George Meyer Interview (March 2000)
		Meyer caused consternation at "The Simpsons" when, in 1995, he announced that he wasn't going to renew his contract at the end of that season, the show's sixth.
		Now the average comedy is about a bunch of people who hang around in some generic urban setting having conversations and sniping at each other.
		That's why the biggest comedy stars tend to be people like Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, because audiences never have to guess when they're trying to be funny It's the same as the phenomenon of seeing a joke in a movie trailer.
