The Simpsons has graced our lives for over twenty-five years and counting, and many fans can barely, if at all, remember life without them. Over the years, they’ve introduced countless classic characters, from Moe the Bartender and drunken lout Barney, to Apu Nahasapeemapetilon and Principal Skinner (lets not have any talk of Armin Tamzarian!). Krusty the Clown, Chief Wiggum, Nelson Muntz, Edna Krabappel, Hans Moleman, Troy McClure, Lionel Hutz, Mr. Burns, Smithers, Ned Flanders, the list goes on (and on and on and on).
Over the years, some of these characters have come to the forefront, while others have been overshadowed. Sometimes, there are good reasons: the tragic death of Phil Hartman meant the retirement of Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure was necessary; and last year Marcia Wallace sadly died and fans had to say goodbye to Edna Krabappel as well. Meanwhile, some characters just don’t work...

Contains plot details for The Simpsons seasons one to twenty-five.
During 2014, The Simpsons is celebrating the big quarter of a century benchmark and airing its 25th season. Not half bad for a couple of brief sketches originally airing as part of The Tracy Ullman Show. With such a large ensemble cast and hundreds of characters to animate you don’t last quarter of a century without losing a few along the way. Actors dying, leaving for personal reasons, awkward pay disputes and unknown circumstances are all responsible.
The Simpsons has stuck to a rule of retiring characters after an actor’s death, mainly out of respect but also to ensure the voice acting talent is top notch. After the sad death of Marcia Wallace in 2013, best known as the...

The producers of The Simpsons have inked a deal with Fxx, the spinoff network of FX, for the exclusive cable rights to all seasons of the show. This only excludes new seasons of the comedy, which will still air on Fox.
