  • The Simpsons season 37 premiere suggests that Marge was a young teen in the '90s, making her and Homer millennials.
  • Co-showrunner Matt Selman is unconcerned with moving the characters’ backstories forward in history: “I am not worried about messing with the timeline.”
  • Selman also says that he believes that “the number of people that are bothered by that is very small.”

    Ultimately, Selman thinks that if the majority of Simpsons fans genuinely cared about plot holes or canonical consistency, the show wouldn’t have made it this far.

    “It’s a f—ing paradox. People suck it up anyway,” he says. “Our show is still very popular in both America and internationally. I am not worried about messing with the timeline. I feel like story and character should come first, and the cinematic universe rules of a show that has none should come in a distant second.”
