'The Simpsons' boss defends making Homer and Marge millennials: 'Not worried about messing with the timeline'

"I feel like story and character should come first, and the cinematic universe rules of a show that has none should come in a distant second," Matt Selman says.

• The Simpsons season 37 premiere suggests that Marge was a young teen in the '90s, making her and Homer millennials.
• Co-showrunner Matt Selman is unconcerned with moving the characters' backstories forward in history: "I am not worried about messing with the timeline."
• Selman also says that he believes that "the number of people that are bothered by that is very small."
