HE episode of "The Simpsons" that will be shown tonight at 8, the finale of the Fox hit's 15th season, includes pointed social satire, Capraesque small-town sentiment, broad physical humor and sly self-referential jokes. What it doesn't have, in a time when sitcoms like "Friends" and "Frasier" featured plot arcs that played out over the course of a year, is any reference to the fact that it's the last show of the season.
In "The Simpsons," everything is neatly tied up at the end of an episode. Whatever happens that week, whether Homer buys a professional baseball team, starts an Internet business or goes to Alcatraz with his family on charges of treason — and he has done all of these — is resolved in 22 minutes and conveniently forgotten by the next week. Bart is forever in fourth grade, and Maggie, the baby, will never talk. Whenever tonight's episode is seen in syndication, it will be difficult to tell that it's a season finale — or even what season it's from.
PS- i dont really know what i copy and pasted, i just put the first 2 or 3 paragraphs. I LOVE THE SIMPSONS!!
