The show’s in its 35th year, I think we’re going to start seeing more of this. Anyone that was 30 when the show started is coming up on eligibility for Social Security and Medicare. I’m curious how long the core cast will stay active, and if the show attempts to recast or finally calls it quits when one or more of them step down.

I don’t think any of the original Sesame Street muppetiers are still working, for instance, but Big Bird and Elmo are still going strong.

I was Bart's age when the show started. I'm now older than Homer.

Harry Shearer feels like he should be the next to retire given that he's 80 and has been a stick in the mud for years now, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is still voicing characters until he no longer is able to or Disney decides it's cheaper to replace the actors.

Welcome to TheSimpsons, a community for discussing everything related to America's non-prehistoric cartoon family, The Simpsons!

Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"

To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.

But no, any Simpsons content is allowed in this community, although we do ask that you keep the shitposting over in !simpsonsshitposting@sh.itjust.works.

Guess the Episode "Rules"

These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.
