Simpsons - do you think Season 25 will be the last?

And then we can say that Ninja Turtles beat it!

......then again, it might get a remake after 10 or so years.

They should have ended Simpsons like Seinfeld did get out while the show is still on top. Well guess it is a bit late for that now.

I stopped watching the Simpsons regularly back in the late 90s. I might catch an ep occasionally, but for the most part, I feel it's been on too long, and it's sad since the show used to be so good. For it to end after its 25th year, might be a good thing, but it'd be strange not seeing the show on whenever it does get to that point.

If season 25 is the last, they'll do it to parody Oprah!

Well timed farts are funny. Farts that go on for decades however aren't. Everything gets stale without fresh life. They would have needed to completely revamp the entire series a few times by now for it to have stayed relevant. As it stands it's just something that people watch because "I've watched every new episode since it started.".

I love South Park but the last half season and the newer episodes aren't making me laugh like it used to. Yet I can still watch the older ones and crack up. It's time for a formula change I think.

I agree with what ChetTurtle says about the new Simpsons, they really aren't as bad as people make them out to be. I think if I had seen the last few seasons as a kid I would have probably enjoyed them as much as the "classic" ones. I mean as a kid I even loved the comic book stories and many of those are much worse than 'new" simpsons. Sure the newer seasons don't have as many memorable moments but its still there for the most part even if theres more stinkers per season than there used to be, I think nostalgia is also a factor also the way TV has changed and what was once edgy is rather tame now. In the end my favorite season is still the first even if people also bash it, its the most nostalgic to me since it was the one they always re-runned.

I'd like it if the show ended in the 25th season, and if they know ahead of time, I'm sure they'd go crazy and treat us with all kinds of fanservice. I hope the rumors are true, from the way things were going it seemed like Fox would continue the show forever until one of the main cast died, or even worse actually replace them and continue the show forever. They could still do a second and even third movie after the show ended, I'd be ok with that.

Now that they re-newed Futurama I hope it doesn't become as tired as the Simpsons, I was always unsure about reviving Futurama, sure the episodes haven't been bad but I fear they'll continue the show on forever like The Simpsons and Family Guy after its revival. FG was an alright show but the revival really showed off how weak the show really was the more episodes it got, I can't even enjoy the original episodes anymore.

If Simpsons ends they'll still make money off of merchandizing for years to come. Sort of the same way The Flintstones has never truly gone away, even if almost all its series and spinoffs have ended for the time being.

I'm hoping the Simpsons doesn't end too soon. It'd be nice on one hand, but on the other, it has grown stale over the years. I do like the newer episodes of Futurama quite a bit though!

[Ninjinister]

I still find the series, even the newer episodes, amusing. I could let it go as long as they want it to.

It's just one of those shows where it wouldn't matter to me whether it ended or not. I may not watch as much as I use to, but I do occasionally watch it especially when there is nothing else to watch.
