"If it brings you pleasure as a fan to pick apart the timeline of a 40-year-old show where the characters do not age, please pick it away," he says. "Pick, pick, pick. Have fun, pick at it, go crazy, pick it away. Everyone's favorite joke from season 4 is 'Cartoons don't have to be 100 percent realistic.' And then another Homer walks by the window."

Man, sounds like the co-showrunner is pissed at all the comic book guys of the world.

Yeah, it's an almost 40 year old show with characters that don't age. They could have tried a bit harder to make certain 'eras' for the characters so that they could still be them but have grown up in different eras. Like say a certain person gets elected president and the science guy invents a portal to another dimension where they all were born a bit later and have slightly different backstories. Could just do that for one episode and never mention it again, and then have fun making more stories with a more modern family. It's just a bit sad that the Matt Selman's attitude is:

"My creative process is: I don't give an eff"
