producer Tim Long of The Simpsons has issued an apology (via Getty). For decades, The Simpsons have been an integral part of American culture, and with each new Springfield tale comes a devoted fanbase.
In the most recent episode, Larry the Barfly, who has been a regular at Moe’s Tavern since the beginning of the program, dies.
Viewers are taken aback by Larry’s abrupt departure during ‘Cremains the Day,’ and Homer, Moe, Lenny, and Carl are left to cope with his absence.
As they stumble through Larry’s memorial tribute, the foursome realizes how little they really know their late buddy.
Even Larry’s “best friends” have trouble remembering things, which makes them think about how they might be a better friend to Larry.
