Bart, Millhouse, Nelson, et al should all be like 15 years old or something by now. How do they explain them not getting any bigger? And how in the hell can they still be in grade school, I know damn well they should all be in HIGH SCHOOL by now. Even Apu's kids seem to be getting older.
Why don't Bart & Lisa "seem" to get any older?

It's those damn chronitons again.
The radioactive isotopes of Bolonium in the Springfield water supply. Responsible for all continuity gaffes.
In one episode, Homer's parking space at the snpp was right next to his back yard. In most other episodes, his back yard is surrounded by neighbors' yards. One time there was a house across the street from Homer's, and former President Bush lived there. In another episode, it was a vacant lot. Just big enough to drive a CANYONERO! through.
The clock in the kitchen is always at 9:15. Don't ask if it is a.m. or p.m. That explains everything! Time stands still in Springfield!

and to get more conspiratorial - remember Lisa's memoir "Where's My Residuals?". In it she made the shocking claim that Homer put growth-stunting hormones in the kids' food so they could remain small and cute! Why, I wouldn't put it past Homer if he was sekkretly spiking the cafeteria food at Springfield Elementary so ALL the kids would remain young. If so, he DESERVED having Mr. Porky being taken from him by the IRS!
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find more tinfoil for my hat. The nerds were RIGHT!!!!!!

The kids don't age for a very simple reason; the show wouldn't be as good if they did - people like watching 10-year-old Bart and 8-year-old Lisa. Have you ever watched reruns of Leave It to Beaver, The Brady Bunch, or Diff'rent Strokes? Notice how the kids go from being "cute little kids" to "what the hell happened to those cute little kids I liked in the show's early years". That won't happen on The Simpsons.

Yep. We almost got to see the Beaver get old enough to be killed in 'Nam.

You mean Eddie Haskell, of course.
(Of course, with the exception of Hugh Beaumont and the kids who were Beaver's age, all of the reasonably major actors returned in Disney's "Still the Beaver", which became TBS's "The New Leave It To Beaver".)

Nope. I refer you to http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/beaver.htm. There was an urban legend about Jerry Mathers' death in the Viet Nam war.

That's ridiculous. Everybody knows Eddie Haskell grew up to be Josh Saviano (Paul Pfeiffer) on "The Wonder Years".

Oh, yeah? Then how come I can *see* them? And it's not just me; plenty of people have seen them.

I have. I think it's the best town in Tennessee...
*cough* (excuse me, had to cough)
Where was I? Oh, yeah, the best town in Tennesse William's "Guide to America's Small Cities." One of his better non-fiction works.
Homer Glumplich? Doing fine.

The interesting one here was when they went to see Sideshow bob in his new President role in Italy (I think) and his Kid was older than maggie, now get out of that :P
