‘Simpsons’ creator: ‘Let’s keep doing it’

As Bart Simpson skips into his 18th season of TV mischief, fans will be glad to know that creator Matt Groening sees no end in sight for the wayward lad or “The Simpsons.”

Groening’s reasoning is sound: The show, which returns on Fox Sunday night, is fun to make, fun to watch, just earned its 23rd Emmy and is finally jumping to the big screen with a summer 2007 movie about Bart and the rest of Springfield’s first family.

“My attitude at this point is, as long as the people who work on the show are having a good time, let’s keep doing it,” he said. “We’ve always tried to entertain ourselves and figured that the outside world would be entertained if we were making ourselves laugh.”
