The Simpsons animated TV series is only good for 1 or 2 seasons. It's because later you realize that in the Simpsons world 2-3 years have passed but Bart and Lisa are still 10 and 8 years old, the same age as in the first episode. It's stupid, doesn't make any sense and unreal in spite of the show trying to show "the real life" and mock reality. It does a bad job at this since a viewer can't relate with the show's characters once he understands that they don't grow up and never change mentally nor physically. If the Simpsons would grow older together with a viewer, if we could finally see Bart and Lisa and Maggie grow up and have their own lives as The Simpsons' main characters, see them having their own children and dealing with their lives, if we could see old Homer in the role of the old man in the house which is currently eternally taken by the grandpa (Homer's father) then it all would make much more sense and be much more appealing to wider audiences. As it is, the show is only suitable for a season or two of watching, then you can move on since you've seen it all, nothing changes after 30 years of the show's run. The Simpsons have mobile phones now and other modern stuff in their world, which wasn't there in the beginning of the show which makes it even more insane to see that literally decades have passed in their world, but none of the characters aged or died (except Snowball the cat, I guess).
That's why I've stopped watching The Simpsons after 3 seasons and recommend to do the same to anyone else. If you've never seen the show then you can try watching it, just remember - it's all fake and sooner or later it will stop being interesting.
Here is a blooper I've noticed. Maggie's ribbon disappears and reappears:
