The Simpsons fandom has been buzzing with excitement as fans have taken to social media to ask Disney Plus for a new feature. The beloved cartoon has been a household staple for the past three decades, and while many of us grew up eagerly waiting for new episodes to air on television, it is now easier than ever to stream The Simpsons.
From the very first season in 1989 to the current 34th season, all episodes are available to watch on Disney Plus. For the latest episodes, viewers can also tune in on platforms such as Sky. However, there is a growing demand for a change in the viewing experience. Instead of the next episode in their watchlist being a continuation of the last, some fans are asking for a random episode to play.
One fan, @fourfingerpod, shared their wish for a "randomize" button to be added to The Simpsons on Disney Plus, stating that they miss the element of surprise from not knowing which episode would air on TV. They were not alone in their request, as other fans also joined in, suggesting where on the screen the button could be placed.
Screenwriter Al Jean, who has worked on The Simpsons since the beginning, also chimed in, agreeing that the "randomize" button would be a great addition. @Jakeyin612 reminisced about how in the "old" days of syndication, two episodes would air back-to-back, one being older and one being newer. They enjoyed this format, despite a slight dip in quality at times. However, this method would not work for serialized shows.
Other fans also voiced their desire for a "shuffle" button or "playlist shuffle" option, where they could select multiple shows to be played in a random order. And it seems like their prayers have been heard, with the Disney+ Help account responding to some comments and stating that while the feature is not available yet, they are constantly striving to improve their services.
Some fans also added to the list of demands, with @paulbodman asking for the ability to search episodes by title and @Pat_Scamander requesting the return of the group watch feature. On a lighter note, @AmyFluidGoth jokingly suggested that sending every customer a free doughnut would make for an amazing customer experience.
Despite the growing requests for a randomize or shuffle feature, it doesn't seem like The Simpsons will be ending anytime soon. Over the years, the show has made headlines for its eerily accurate predictions, and while there are no plans for it to end, Jean has teased a potential ending where the last episode would circle back to the first Christmas pageant episode.
In a recent interview, Jean shared that the talk of ending the show is not on the table, especially with its success on Disney Plus. He also mentioned that he would be happy to keep making The Simpsons for another 12 seasons, which would bring the total episode count to 1,000. However, he also emphasized that it's not as simple as just "12 more seasons," but rather a longer journey.
