Would you like The Simpsons to end after the movie?
 

i need to know your opinion. I was thinking this morning on how bad the simpsons have gotten these past seasons..

So vote if you want the simpsons to contuine after the movie or end..

I already want the Simpsons to end. I know hating on the show is the cool thing to do these days, but for good reason. It just needs to be put out of its misery.

It's quite sad when a show that was once hailed as one of the most profoundly solid and relevent animated comedies of it's time is now prompting games like this

I think it probably should, but it won't. Fox usually cancel the good shows and run others into the ground, so it seems.

The Simpsons may stay around forever!

Unless a reality-based TV show starts pulling in more viewers...

Well, I've got nothing against the show, and I wish it all the best, but it's really gone downhill over the past decade. Personally, I have a really hard time watching anything post-98/99. In all reality, the show really hit its peak during the 93/94/95 seasons, and it's very sad to see the steady decline in quality from those great episodes to the wretched sh*t they're producing now.

Even if the show is cancelled, it'll be shown on reruns for the rest of eternity anyway. Why not just put it out of its misery?

I hope this show just dies. I used to like it as a kid, but now when I watch it I can't stand it. It can't get a laugh outta me. What makes it worse is that my roomate is in love with the Simpsons. He has all the box sets and watches it whenever its on tv (which is like 5-6 times around here). I find no humor in it anymore.

i still like to watch the new episodes and still enjoy them. even if they decide to cancel the show i'll be content watching the numerous reruns.

wow so many people here belives the simpsons should end and go on.. The show had 18 years of memories and the show will be synicated for a really long time.

So I will see this movie when it comes out, however if the movie fails to be successful, well Fox might say goodbye to Simpsons.

All good things must come to an end.

Now, if you were a writer of the Simpsons, what would be some of the things you will want to change to make the show better, if you could?

I would move the characters up in age. That could lead to some actual development. Sitcoms that go on always have kids getting older and what not, so why not The Simpsons? Make Bart and Lisa teenagers and make Maggie a kid. That could lead to some fresher episodes, cause they've been stretching their material out for far too long.

PRECISLY.

That's the only way I'd ever give this damn show a request for continued existence. Much like Newspaper strips, I hate when they don't age any characters. That's why "Baby Blues" stands high above the rest, it's concept allows one character to age, and produce another baby to keep the premise fresh.

I hated when Calvin and Hobbes did'nt go anywhere (even if it still is the best newspaper strip ever), Garfield is finally going somewhere, but Davis has long since given up on it.

The only time I laughed at this blatant mishandling was when Lisa admitted to using "anti-growth medication" in the series' final good episode "Behind The Laughter"

exactly.

There was an episode when Maggie had her first birthday party and they never had another 1 since.

They should have some of the old characters make old returns like Herb Simpson or more Sideshow bob trying to kill bart again, etc.

What I would like is the simpsons to have more original stories rather than crazy adventures.

Exactly, it would allow the viewers to reconnect with the characters again, something the writers stopped caring about long ago. Everything's a damn joke now, and a very lame one at that.

HOMER IS FAT AND DUMB LOL

Honestly I wanted the Simpsons to end awhile ago. But I don't really care either way. I don't watch TV anymore so if it makes people happy then keep making it. I honestly thought Futurama was funnier.

spitfire, you are right on the button on Futurama.. the repeats are funny even to this day and the upcoming movie and new episodes should probably be better than what the simpsons.

I cant' wait for the new episodes.

I think the reason why it's better is he actually wants to work on it. I remember awhile back he wanted to work on just Futurama an not make Simpsons anymore so Fox canceled Futurama so he would make more Simpsons. Now I read this online so who knows if it's true but it certainly shows.

Watching the new Simpsons is so painfully unfunny I just couldn't bring myself to watch any more and I loved the old ones, but I do think the idea of letting the kids grow older would make for a good season or two that I probably would watch. Futurama was way better than Simpsons at the time they were both running side by side anyway, Zoidberg never fails to get a laugh out of me.

I would really love the Simpsons to wrap up production after this movie. We've been saying for a while now that the show needs to stop. It agonizing watching it now. I remember when there was a time when they had good episodes airing, such as Marge getting into a musical and venting her anger of Homer out onto Ned Flanders, or Bart trying to pass a test in order to move on into the fifth grade. Now there are shows about the family cat. The cat people. THE CAT!

The first season was what it was all about - an average family facing average problems. But now they are meeting the Queen and spoofing off the Incredible Hulk. The magic is just gone. It's just a ghost of a show now, forever serching for ratings. Personally, if they have to make one more episode, let it be a "good bye" episode. The show can not run forever, and we all just need to accept that. Then we can focus on Futurama! :D

the incrediblle hulk spoof was funny. Come on u gotta laugh when homer became it and bart said good thing his pants stayed on and even Stan lee was funny. come on dude, tell me u didn't laugh.

I did'nt.

Why?

Because THIS is how you spoof the Hulk

Also, watch Harvey Birdman's tribute to the series, "Incredible Hippo" has superb references to moments only fans would ever get. Right down to the scene in "Equinox" with Mcgee and Banner. Noone had used that until that episode...a crime in itself.

Sea Lab's Bebop Cola episode comes to mind. God that show cracks me up. I can watch the first season countless times and still laugh. It's great to quote to.

"Stop talking like that bucket-head Wendy, you slut."
