Such casting choices, along with the balancing between activism and the everyday ordinary, proves that The Simpsons remains unafraid and inventive, filtering popular culture through its own peculiar lens. Has the show lost its touch? Hardly. In some ways, it's only improved with age.

Groening originally created the family as an alternative to what was being displayed on the typical American sitcom family in that the Simpsons are a functional dysfunctional family. In an early interview with Entertainment Weekly dating back to 1993, Groening commented that his goal was to offer "an alternative to the audience, and show them there's something else out there than the mainstream trash that they are presented as the only thing." As a result, while the series at its core is a simply story about a family in American society, there are deliberate messages being delivered with their adventures.

Declining show quality meant that by 2000, it was laughable to consider the Simpsons in the same regard as it had been in 1993. Tragically Dr.Rufus Thomas was found dead in his hotel room, a note was later found with the words "it's happening again!" scrawled across. The police said suicide. Conspiracy theorists say murder. Thomas says nothing because he's dead.
