The Simpsons Finally Justified Its Longest Running Credits Gag
After 33 seasons, The Simpsons finally justified the long-running gag of Bart writing lines on a chalkboard with a cute tribute to Ms. Krabappel’s memory. A Simpsons celebrity cameo can often be bad news for the animated comedy, as in recent years, The Simpsons has come to rely on high-profile guest stars to hold on to audience interest, and the show has often failed to provide compelling storylines to accompany these big names. However, recent developments imply that The Simpsons might be improving on this front, with Kerry Washington’s role as Bart’s new teacher Rayshelle Payton showing that The Simpsons could create compelling new characters rather than relying on their famous actors' brand recognition alone.
