Simpsons ending soon???
 

Groening thinks so

Nah. It's on Fox. We've got at least another 8 seasons.

the simpsons is fox
w/ futurama and family guy gone if the simpsons left as well I could stop watching Fox altogether.

Fox executives would sacrifice their first-borns just to squeeze one more season out of "The Simpsons." Groening could use this as a bargaining chip to keep "Futurama" alive.

Didn't they sign a deal a year or so ago to keep it on through season 15? That might be a good spot to wind it up. I agree it isn't as "fresh" as it used to be but it's still better than 90% of what else is on the air -- last weekend's "Homer Hulk" episode was a great one, I thought. What season is this, 12 or 13? I definitely would say they're in the last 3-4 seasons right now... Don't want to pull an "X-Files" or "Mad About You" and have the show overstay its shelf life and nobody cares when it ends.

Well, at least we still have Andy Richter and Greg the Bunny.... if enough petitions and threatening letters are sent to FOX.

As far as I am concerned, this show ended after season 10. Season 11 had a few good episodes, but everything since then has been painfully bad. And it's not as good as 90% of everything else on TV. That is unless you're just totally brainwashed by the Fox media machine and still believe the hype.

I thought it was ending after season 15 as well.

:(

sad to see it go
the simpsons are like pizza ... even when it's bad it's still pretty good ;)

here's another link - http://money.cnn.com/2002/04/30/news/simpsons/index.htm

you gotta be kidding me. Name me 5 shows on ABC that are better than The Simpsons

from that article:

Well....I wasn't aware that everything on TV existed on ABC.

The Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards (which will be up against the Simpsons on May 15th and will more than likely get my attention that night)

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL & DOC!?!, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Ok, what I meant to say was HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Funniest post ever!

just using ABC as an example. since there are 4 networks and then cable we can say abc is probably about 20% or maybe a little less of whats on tv. but anyway, seeing your list i'm assuming you're here to thread crap since you put the tv guide channel on there

Actually, I was trying to make a point that anything is better than the current run on the Simpsons. ANYTHING.

well i guess like they say if you dont like it dont watch. there are many of us who still enjoy the show and we'll keep on watching

Well....I don't watch it. I try to catch an episode from time to time, and even tuned in for the Stan Lee episode. I find a few good chuckles but it's just not the same. A few good chuckles does not equal a good show. In fact, if The Simpsons had started out with it's early seasons this bad, I doubt it would have the support it does now.

And I didn't mean to step on any toes. I didn't gather from the main post on this thread that this thread was intended only for praise. I had no idea a contradictory opinion would be so unwelcome.

not unwelcome but definitely unpopular. you admit that the show gave you a few chuckles, how can that be worse than weakest link or the tv guide channel?

I unwillingly had to see an episode of the Golden Girls the other day and also got a few chuckles from it. That doesn't mean it's better than 90% of what's out there. I could say the same for a lot of other TV shows and even movies. It's like people saying Phantom Menace was good because it had a cool pod race scene. Please. That movie was lame in spite of the pod race scene.

As for unpopular...well, maybe here, but there are other message boards where the consensus I share is not in the minority. There are more than a few long time fans giving up on this show.

You have got to be sh*tting me.

Oops, that's what happens when you just cut and paste from a TV listing site! ;)

D'oh! That's why I thought that "Who Want's to Marry a Millionaire" was soooo good! The Fox media machine! Lord knows that someone has to stop the Fox media machine! Hell, the way they run the board come ratings time. Why I was just reading that the Simpsons was the highest rated show on Fox last week....

Wait a minute! You're right! The Fox media machine is doing it!
Someone please stop them so that I can switch channels to watch better fare such as Touched By An Angel or Weakest Link! The Fox Media Machine has meeeeeee!

In case you didn't realize it, I was being sarcastic!

This is step 1...

Step 2 is getting the syndicators to stop distribution

:D

The simpsons have atleast a few more seasons in them. they still have an average amount of Good episodes. I'm happy with them. as for you folks who say its crap now... eh. couldn't care less on how others see the show. I love it. :)
