Why dont make Bart and Lisa teenagers?

I mean,they lived so many adventures already,this is getting ridicolous. They keep changing the timeline of their backstory instead of letting them age a little. So Homer and Marge now met in the early 2000s? Bart was born in 2010? Lisa in 2012? Maggie in 2018? Come on! Bart and Lisa had so many experiences right now they are basically like adults,its ridicolous they are still 10 and 8.

They should indeed

Changing their ages wouldn´t make the show any better.

[–] Domi90 (283) 5 years ago

It might because you can at least write new storylines you cant write now

[–] BillySlater (4256) 5 years ago

It might work if they got back the original writing staff.

That and keeping the SJWs away from the censorship room at Fox.

A better idea would be to just end the show.

"A better idea would be to just end the show."

It could be the same idea.

Let them just age until they all die out of old age.

End of show.

Making them grow up would entail changing their appearances and personalities, which would upset some of the fan base

[–] Franky88 (288) 5 years ago

Yeah they dont have the balls to do that. But they could just age them of 2-3 years without changing their appearence very much. They could at least make storylines about puberty or something in this way

why now? Bart would be 40

[–] Satan2016 (25894) 3 years ago

Because Bart would be a stoner drug dealer. Even worse would be blue-haired SJW Lisa. Non-binary Magi! Drove Homer to drugs and he ODs.

the question is why not cancel the show
it's enough already

[–] Ken12602 (499) 3 years ago

Why do you care if it's on or not? Nobody is forcing you to watch it.

[–] strntz (12736) 3 years ago

I agree. I think it's been unwatchable for 20 years but if people are enjoying it (and they must to keep the ratings), then who am I to deny anyone new episodes?

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

I did not know they actually did that, Franky88! That just plain sucks!

End the show, NOW!
