Season 19
The Simpsons season premiere was last night, and it is welcome. It boggles the mind to consider that the show is in its 19th season, and, at least judging from “He Loves to Fly and He D’oh’s”, it is still funny. For instance, last night, the opening theme followed up on events from last summer’s Simpsons Movie with humorous results.
Importantly, I was glad that the season premiere came on September 23. You see, for several miserable years, new episodes wouldn’t begin until the end of October, or even early November, with the “Treehouse of Horror” for that season, to make room for the World Series which Fox was airing. So, to have the season begin in September once more is a pleasure, though I doubt we’ll ever see a start as early as that magical Season 6, which began September 4, 1994, or Season 13, which began in August.
Still, The Simpsons has been a big part of my life, and I am glad it’s back. May it never end.
