I hope they cancel The Simpsons after this movie and focus on Futurama. It's so much better. Plus, The Simpsons is getting ropey now. What are your thoughts?

Rock On

Canceling Simpsons = not going to happen. It's too successful of a show.

I didn't think you'd actually make this thread. :|

The Simpsons has some good episodes now, but it's overall going downhill. But, who knows. Maybe Futurama will come back worse than the Simpsons. :shock:

Uh, you do realize that, as of right now, Futurama is cancelled and the rights belong to Comedy Central, right?

Obviously it is well known how The Simpsons have been in decline....hell I have though it since season 10......season's 3-7 is still the funniest thingI have ever seen on TV (apart from Arrested Development of course). I hope the movie turns out good though....

Futurama was awesome, but even at its worst, the Simpsons can still manage to have a couple minutes of teh funnay in it, much funnier than American Dad and Family Guy, which should be cancelled. They should have some crossover episode with the guys from The Simpsons, Futurama, South Park, and King of the Hill. That would be awesome.

The Simpsons should have been cancel along time ago, but as other user have said it makes too much money and I don't really care as long as more Futurama is made at somepoint.

That's pretty much an inevitability. Futurama was just too awesome, even Matt Groening knew that.

Um...Isn't Futurama is being made right now? So, you shouldn't worry...Canceling one (successful) show, like the Simpsons, will anger those who haven't heard of Futurama...Don't worry about it.

Nah, they shouldn't cancel The Simpsons. There are a lot worse shows on tv right now. However, The Simpsons hasn't been funny since the mid 90s, and Futurama has never been funny.

Years and years ago, the simpsons use to have a lot of funny random adult/other humor. Now it seems to have nearly become a Liberal comedic pedastal for making a political point.

I hate the way comedies have been going lately. Always trying to slip in some kind of left-tilt nod whenever they get the chance...

You cannot deny that the Simpsons is going downhill - but not excessively downhill... I don't think that they should cancel it - i like the fact that the new ephisodes are in touch with modern times... But they should focus more on making more Futurama!

It's funnier if you do watch the Simpsons, because many of the jokes in the show are related. I think that's why it's less popular.

I haven't seen any of the new Simpsons episodes, but based on what you're saying, Simpsons is just doing what South Park's been doing for 10 years.

Although Futurama is in production, it won't release until 2008 in the States, and about 2009/10 in the UK. 3 more years :(. I have nothing to say to majadamus. Nothing.

That's what I heard, too, but I got to say, I wish they'd stop already. They've expended just about every joke they can do.

They should redo every episode in German and air them backwards in the US. It will be funny, I tell you, funny.

It's because they are running out of ideas for comical things, so they have to result to selling out. It's pretty bad when you've got an entire episode dedicated to Fox News Network. It's just ripping off of Family Guy's humor. Family Guy tends to focus its humor more on politics, religion, sex, and celebrities.

Family Guy? Funny?

Now you can't be serious. I swear, they have the same comedic style in every freaking episode. One guy talks, another guy responds, another guy talks, they talk over each other, they stop, awkward silence, lather, rinse, repeat.

I haven't seen any of the new Simpsons episodes, but based on what you're saying, Simpsons is just doing what South Park's been doing for 10 years.

Except that South Park does it right. South Park generally nails all political parties, democrat and republican. Everyone get's a chance to laugh in South Park, and South Park has plenty of other humor in their as well.

However the simpsons didnt start it until a few years ago, and they do it poorly, and they dont go after both sides, only made snided remarks against republicans.

Right now, Fox more than likely won't be cancelling the show for at least another 2 years, the reason for this is that the show is still a good cash cow fro the network after almost 20 years. They're gonna ride that car until the wheels fall off, episode quality be damned.
