High school or college. I would be interested in seeing the different types of stories that can be told.

and half the time they keep the characters exactly as they are now, only with some crazy "but in the future!!!" twist on it

Yes, but if the show went "in the future", it'd probably upset so many people lol. Not to mention the creators are comfortable too with not aging.

my point is that, if they're going to do these future episodes at all, they should put the characters in a different position than they're in now
bart continuing to be lazy is not exactly interesting

Just end it. They need to stop cause it's already dead. They really should have quit after the movie. At least it would have ended on a high note.

There was the episode "That 90s Show", where Marge and Homer were in college during the 90s.

I always thought it would be interesting to have a cartoon where the characters do age one year each season

King of the Hill is probably the closest we will get to something like that

There's shows like Archer or "F is for Family" that have ongoing continuity, including birthdays, but it's not over the span of time you're probably thinking of.

f is for family is good in a lot of ways but its crude humor can be really hit or miss and the art kinda sucks
it's actually refreshing seeing an angry dad instead of a stupid dad though

I'm referring to actually progressing the characters rather than one-off episodes.
