Music section is missing reference to "The Yellow Album,' a compilation of non-TV show songs.
Perhaps add information about the direction.
Perhaps add information about music on the show..
The final sentence of the opening paragraph reads as if it breaks the flow of the rest of the structured content. It should probably be moved to the "declining quality" section.

In list of show runners, it should say Seasons 13-32 - Al Jean, and then Season 33= - Matt Selman. There were always some episodes produced by other EPs in earlier seasons, but the one listed here should be the 'main' show runner which is now Matt Selman. Otherwise it should be listed as joint for the last few seasons too. Rotorwalrus (talk) 18:57, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
Almost fifteen years have passed since the article's promotion as Featured Article. Over the years, content has changed or expanded. I can't say whether the quality improved or worsened, even with newer additions like "Race controversy". The article is too large for me to thoroughly review, so I can't say much else at this time. --George Ho (talk) 00:01, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

In the para Opening Sequence the reference to the chalkboard gag states that Bart "writes different things on the school chalkboard". The whole point of the gag is that he is 'doing lines' at the insistence of a teacher as a punishment for a prior misdemeanour". Doing lines was a traditional punishment with the hope that multiple repetition would make the pupil remember better what they had done wrong.
In summary, my request is:
Replace
"writes different things on the school chalkboard"
with
"is having to write lines on the school chalkboard as a punishment, demonstrating a prior wrong-doing and giving a clue to his behaviour"
Not done: This phrase refers to things changing between episodes. He writes lines on the chalkboard every episode, but they are different things between episodes. I was considering replacing with "writes different lines on the school chalkboard as a punishment", but found it too wordy. casualdejekyll02:29, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
Graggle
the article should have mention of graggle simspon or atleast a section regarding the impact of the simpsons on internet culture (including graggle) 82.14.229.17 (talk) 22:16, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
Not done - Twitter is not a reliable source. Please see reliable sources. SoyokoAnis - talk 12:18, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Selman running more doesn't mean he's the main show runner, and a question asked on twitter is not a RS. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:41, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:49, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
