Critics, per Wikipedia
The Simpsons was the Fox network's first television series to rank among a season's top 30 highest-rated shows. In 1990, Bart quickly became one of the most popular characters on television in what was termed "Bartmania". In the early 1990s, millions of T-shirts featuring Bart were sold; as many as one million were sold on some days.

Probably a little Easter egg here and there, but no ‘I’m going to miss this place'" (via The Wrap)

And only available to paid subscribers! I'm starting, of course, with The Simpsons, as one century ends and another begins. episodes.ghost.io/26-episodes-...
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw this live when it aired, not knowing it was the series finale. It ends with stark black-and-white footage of the series's puppet TV news anchor, Howard Handupme, somberly saying, "Good night. Goodbye." It's like if The Simpsons ended with Homer triggering nuclear annihilation.

Older millennials were his first fanbase when older viewers nearly got his show cancelled for being "unfunny." We take full credit for him. If you're under 30, you are welcome.

I still remember my mom walking through the John Waters episode and Barney says this and she ended laughing for a whole minute.
