What people are saying
Updated nightlyIt's a long-running cultural institution, but opinions are sharply divided on its modern era. People still love the core cast, with Homer and Marge Simpson specifically getting praise, and the humor itself is widely considered strong. The main critique is that the stories feel tired and unoriginal after so many seasons, with some finding the show's current plots a pale imitation of its classic satirical take on American life.
