Ratings: At Long Last Leave
The Simpsons celebrated 500 episodes last night with ‘At Long Last Leave’, and 5.79 million viewers tuned in to share the moment.

On the eve of the show’s 500th episode, viewer interest in The Simpsons took a turn for the worst. A total of 4.33 million viewers watched Sunday night’s episode ‘The Daughter Also Rises’, giving it the not-so-prestigious honor of becoming the least-watched episode in the show’s history – a feat previously reached not so long ago by last year’s ‘The Great Simpsina’.
