Template:Vital article To-do list for The Simpsons: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2017-09-20 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.

The Simpsons have won 35 Primetime Emmy Awards. Not 34. https://www.emmys.com/shows/simpsons 2800:E2:280:17E:908F:304C:E563:93CC (talk) 16:54, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Parents should know that the Simpsons is for kids 13 and up because teenage stuff, PG-13. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8B:4402:3460:80F4:EE8D:A7C3:65A9 (talk) 20:39, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Either remove, or add a reference, to the claim that "'D'oh' has been adopted into the English language." Right now this claim is unsupported/unverified. Snowballone (talk) 07:56, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: We don't always provide an inline citation for every sentence in the lede per WP:LEDECITE. It is cited when mentioned later The Simpsons#Idioms and also better explored at the D'oh! page which is wikilinked in the lede. Cannolis (talk) 08:47, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In "Perceived decline in quality", at the end it says『The series' ratings have also declined; while the first season enjoyed an average of 13.4 million viewing households per episode in the U.S.,[179] the twenty-first season had an average of 7.2 million viewers.[272]』What's the use for quoting the views it had more than a decade ago, and not use last year's 33rd season's ratings? 167.250.55.182 (talk) 20:16, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore: The Simpsons debuted at a time when live viewing of linear broadcast television was still the dominant form of episodic content consumption. 43% of households had no cable in 1989 and DVR and streaming didn't exist. Every spot on the broadcast schedule has markedly declined in relative ratings year-by-year since 1989; any one of the Top 30 shows of 1989 had more viewers than the most-watched show today. Discussing metrics such as profitability, share of broadcast audience, or ranking compared to other shows would give a more informative picture of how the show's popularity has changed.

Although anything 20th Century Fox and its service are now owned by Disney as 20th Century Pictures during 21st Century Fox acquisition which includes The Simpsons (although all shows made by FOX isn't completely made by Disney despite the current ownership), why people still thinks that The Simpsons (and other FOX shows) is now a Disney-ABC distribution while 20th Television still owns the program under its unit with Disney, even there is no sign of Disney-ABC logo appearing at the end of the show by plastering a 20th Television logo, it's still made by 20th Television although it's now made as a television production unit under the new Disney ownership that doesn't make Disney both produces and distribute The Simpsons so why people didn't know that yet? i hope people tell me more about the whole Disney distributes The Simpsons as a whole thing.
