"At Long Last Leave"

Sometimes I feel like I love the show more than THEY do, is all.
It was clear from the early promos that this episode wasn't going to be special in any meaningful sense. It was just a regular old Simpsons episode, which happened to drop into the "500th episode" slot in the series' run. This seems like a puzzling waste of opportunity. Only four other shows in the history of television have gone for more than 500 episodes, and two of those shows are WWE wrestling so I'm not sure if they really count. It seems like it would have been right to mark this milestone with something a little different. I'm thinking of the "Behind the Music" episode, something meta, an episode that is ABOUT the show. It kind of makes me wonder if the show's creators actually care about the show at all, you know? We make an effort to mark the epic milestones of the things we care about. For grandpa's 100th birthday we don't just give him a cursory pat on the back and get on with our day.
