In other entertainment news, apparently The Simpsons is running its 400th episode this week. This is an instance where their use of animation actually has cut against them. If it was like a normal sitcom, where the kids grow up and the stars leave to make movies and changes have to made, it would have ended five years ago. Because they're caught in amber (or celluloid), they can do the same storylines with the same family unit over and over, which is what they've been doing the past 5 years, and it's become almost unwatchable. It's long wore out its welcome.
