Warning: full episode spoilers follow.
It's pretty crazy to think that The Simpsons kicked off its 26th season tonight. Rare is the television show that manages even a third of that lifespan. But the problem with anything that lasts 25 years is that it grows more and more difficult to avoid the "been there, done that" dilemma. That's been the major downfall of The Simpsons for, oh, about 15 years now. It seems like we've seen just about every conflict possible with the residents of Springfield, and often more than once. And unfortunately, "Clown in the Dumps" fell victim to that same, basic flaw. There was little in this premiere we haven't seen before.
