Fox ‘Simpsons’ Kills Krusty’s Dad Jackie Mason In Disappointing Season 26 Premiere: “Beloved” Death Murders Series Comeback? [SPOILERS]

Last night 'The Simpsons' gave a great big middle finger America, when they killed off Jackie Mason's’ character Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky, A.K.A. Krusty’s dad. The show received a lot of press when it was announced they were killing off a beloved Emmy winning character. However, like a hyperbole heavy 'Buzzfeed' title, the episode failed to blow minds. Where Jackie Mason is a top notch talent, Krusty’s dad, and his fist full of appearances, isn’t what a lot of fans would refer to as beloved, nor did his passing pull on the heartstrings. How could it, Hyman was little more than a obscure family member to a side character, whose total number of episodes can comes to 11, if you count minor spots.
