The Simpsons to break US record

My God I can't believe how long it's been on. It's funny that you posted this, because just earlier today, I was thinking about it - specifically, there was the episode where Millhouse got Alf pogs, and at the time, Alf was kind of old, but now pogs are old, too.

It's been a while since I've watched any new episodes, but I watch the repeats if I'm eating dinner when they're on. A few nights ago they had the episode with the new worker at the power plant who hates Homer because he works very hard for very little while Homer hardly works and has plenty. That was a funny episode.

"Him? He, he's the safety inspector? Doesn't that bother you?"
"Eh, we try not to think about it."

I read the Wikipedia article about that episode since it is one of my favorites. Apparently it wasn't very well received when it first came out. Seems strange to me.

What? That's crazy! The episode with Grimey was awesome. I wasn't such a fan of the whole "retconning that he had a son" business, but the original is one of my faves.

Um, I'm pretty sure pogs were old then, too. That's why it was so rad that he had traded Bart's soul for Alf pogs.

Pogs was one of those fads that was so trendy and vapid that it was old like 12 minutes after it came out.
