THE SIMPSONS
May 21, 2017  | By David Bianculli

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

SEASON FINALE: Friday, I hosted a special Fresh Air salute to The Simpsons, honoring the 30th anniversary of Matt Groening’s animated characters as interstitial cartoon shorts on Fox’s The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987. Tonight, more officially, the weekly series known as The Simpsons, which was spun off from those Ullman Show bumpers, concludes Season 28 – an amazing run all by itself. And it does so with an episode that really goes to the dogs. After a legal ruling involving a Homer Simpson court case, the dogs of Springfield are declared legally superior to the town’s human residents. And really, who can argue?
