In your opinion, do you think the Simpsons should end?

I don't think it should end. It's true the show has had a dry spell the last few years. But last season they really started to pick up and it's really feeling fresh again. I just finished watching the new episode tonight and I had some good laughs and it was all just good fun.

I don't think the Simpson should end just because it's one of the longest lasting shows on TV, and it might have been "milked" a little too much. But personally, it's a special show to me that I've had since I was a kid and I'll keep watching it as long as they keep making it.

I think they should go back to the older episodes and look at what makes them great. There are jokes where the timing is just so perfect it's hard to believe they were written. The episodes these days try too hard to be funny. I don't think the fans would mind much if the writers took some time to just write soem good old quality stuff, though the voice actors (iirc) have always been a bit bossy.

The humor and charm that defined earlier seasons dried out seasons ago. I'm all for mercy killing America's former favorite family.

Well, you have to look at this way. You guys find it unfunny, but there's a huge population of people that still find it very funny...enough to keep it on the air.

That doesn't say much... Anyway should've ended 10+ years ago and started 5+ years later. Cause those were the really good seasons. Everything else was just sentimental rubbish

The show started to suck around 2001. It's been 10 years now and the show needs to end. It was great from 1990-2000 but since 2001-today they are terrible.

But is it worth trudging through the twenty-two awful episodes every season just to catch the decent one?

Everything dies.

The question isn't if The Simpsons should end, the question is WHEN it should end.

Personally, I don't care since I haven't watched an episode in mosre than a decade. But if your primary reason for why it should keep going is because it's lasted so long, I think you might want to rethink that.

It should end after this season and they should completely finish the franchisee with a second movie. Then Fox can begin their new Simpsons channel and just bring us classic episodes all day.

I think that they should stop making new episodes of The Simpsons unless they can find a way to recapture the funniness from the earlier seasons.

This would be they're best choice. Atleast 2 years should suffice.

It didn't end early at 13 seasons. It ended while it was still great. Not a complete embarrassment like the Simpsons post-season 11 (and really after season 8 ).

They had a good run, to say the least. But all things come to an end eventually. If theres no shortage of fans, and the people who make the Simpsons still have ideas and make money, why should it end? Once theres not enough fans/ratings to justify making more episodes, it should end.

They ran out of ideas when they switched writers after season 11 and the show was completely ruined and not funny at all.
