the simpsons end is near!!! I understand though and it shows in this last season..Matt Groening says its getting harder and harder to stay fresh and funny.
Sad day for me..even though I knew it was comming soon watching this year.
-
I saw that comment as well. It\'s sad, as I am a big Simpson\'s fan, but after watching this season, I can\'t blame them for ending it. We will always have the reruns.:)

It\'s time for the show to die. I\'m a fan of The Simpsons, but lately it\'s been more difficult to laugh when I watch the new episodes. The earlier seasons are still great, though.
All good things must come to and end, and "one of the greatest animated TV shows ever" is no exception.

did you notice that the plots became a bit more "cooky"? And Homer became more retarded, the show was still good, just different.

"The Simpsons" not close to ending, creator says
LOS ANGELES, May 1 (Reuters) - Reports of the imminent demise of Homer Simpson and his beloved but dysfunctional cartoon family are grossly exaggerated, their creator said on Wednesday.
In fact, says cartoonist Matt Groening, television viewers are going to have "The Simpsons" to kick around for years and years to come despite what the headlines of the British press might be saying. "D\'oh!" as Homer might exclaim.
Groening strongly denied a British newspaper report that he was planning to wind up the series shortly because it was getting harder and harder to find funny things to say.
Cowabunga, dude! That\'s not the case at all.
"I was misquoted and misunderstood. I don\'t want anyone to think I am predicting the demise of the Simpsons. They will live on with new adventures for years to come. As long as there are things to make fun of we will be around," the Los Angeles-based Groening said in a telephone interview with Reuters.
The London Financial Times kicked off an international fuss when it quoted Groening on Tuesday as saying: "I think we are closer to winding it up ... Although what happens generally if we win the Emmy for best animation show is that that gives us another couple of years to run it into the ground.
"It becomes increasingly difficult as the years go by to keep on not only surprising the audience, but surprising ourselves."
Groening said these were comments that he often made before but were taken out of context and misunderstood.
"I am always asked how much longer can this go on. I just said that given the fact the we just finished our 300th episode, I would guess we are closer to the end of our life than the beginning. At the end of our 100th episode (one of our writers) said we were halfway home. Now we think the show will last, our ratings are better than ever."
Groening has earned millions for media baron Rupert Murdoch\'s Fox network since the series featuring Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and baby Maggie first entered the lives of television viewers in 1989. In fact, he predicted that the Simpsons "will continue to make Rupert Murdoch even richer."
He added that he was not bored or unhappy with the program. "After 300 episodes it is more difficult to remain true to the characters. We are trying to top ourselves after all those great shows and the shows are as good now as they have ever been."
"TV Guide" magazine recently placed the animated show eighth on its list of the 50 greatest television shows of all time.
And it retains its ability to cause upset. When a recent episode depicted Rio de Janeiro as teeming with rats, monkeys and street crime, Brazilian tourist officials were outraged and the show\'s executive producer was forced to apologize.
The Fox network is part of the Fox Entertainment Group Inc.
FOX.N>, which controlled by News Corp. Ltd.

I still think the show is comming to an end..jsut going on how this season is compared with other last season shows.
-
If they had bothered to let them AGE. Then the simpsons i think, would still be going strong.
They could have done so much more if bart and lisa etc grew up.
-
Time to go jump off a cliff.
-
This is quite ironic. My friends here at work and I were discussing the show yesterday and I had said that I think the show has long over kept its welcome. I say they should do as most great shows in the past have done and end it on the high note before the show is destroyed by overstaying it’s welcome.
-
Can somebody tell me where I can go read the news. I don\'t want to see the simpsons go. Thats the only reason to watch tv on sunday.(and x files of course)
both ending:( :confused: :eek: :(
-
Personally, I think the Simpsons is still one of the best comedies on broadcast television.
I found it kind of funny on sundays episode (when they were talking about future episodes and showing pics) when they showed Homer jumping over a shark on a motorcycle. Basically saying that they plan on jumping the shark (http://www.jumptheshark.com) in the future. lol
-
I don\'t want them to ever go off the air, and they can never overstay their welcome to me, but when the frightful day comes and they go off the air, I hope the end it with a bang. And have a final 5 episodes with an hour or two hour final episode that brings a conclusion to the series.

"that dog has a puffy tail! Hee hee hee! Here, puff! Hee hee hee"

nooooooooooooooooooooooo, i love the simpsons it cant be stopped.....
i did read that the other day, and i do agree the newer ones arnt as funny, they have funny bits, but not funny all the way through!!! they are sorta more stupider to try to make it funny...
i have 2 favs now
1) you only ;ive twice ( i think, when homer works for scorpio)
2) the one where its 1 story in 4 different views....the one with lisas little robot, linguisto , or lingo
-
I can\'t believe it is ending. I thought the new ones were funnier than the old ones. I\'m gonna miss it. :crying: :crying: :crying:

Personally, I would REALLY hate to see the show end. It may not be quite as good as the earlier years, but it still is going strong in my opinion. I truely enjoy watching the new episodes, and as long as that is true, they should continue. There have been recent episodes which I thought were some of the funnier ones I\'d seen. Earlier this season, for example, the episode "jaws wired shut" had me laughing for days.

NOOOOO...... The Xfiles, now this what do I have to live for
