The Simpsons: What Will Springfield Be Like In 50 Years? (VIDEO)

Catching up on some TV watching last night, I caught part of an episode of "The Simpsons" with some environmental themes. It might be about time for me to make a list of all of these episodes, eh?

This is from season 20, episode 17: "The Good, the Sad and the Drugly."

Here's the first point in that subplot:

And here's the whole episode, if you've got some time on your hands!

Love them or hate them, the creators of the Simpsons are always on target with their hidden and not so hidden take on pop culture. What offends us is true, what comforts us is false and what entertains us is a combination of both.
