The Simpsons is experiencing an issue that it has only faced once before The Simpsons is the longest-running sitcom in the history of the United States and is now in its 36th season but the gap between its last episode and next is reaching unprecedented levels.
However, despite some confusion among viewers, the episode was actually a parody of what makes an effective finale, and imagined what the perfect ending of The Simpsons would look like – as written by AI.
The episode was hosted by an animated version of Conan O’Brien, who said at the start: “It’s such an honour to be with you all for the series finale of The Simpsons... Well, it’s true.
The last episode of the season, “Bottle Episode” was broadcast on 29 December.
Throughout the episode, there were animated recreations of final shots of shows including The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones and Succession.
