The Simpsons to End

[Stu]

20 Season's is a damn good innings
Sad but another 5 years is something to look out for

I can't believe they have anounced they will stop the show in 5 years... Seems rather odd considering most major networks including Fox usually annouce a show ending in Summer before the last season starts... But 5 years!! I can't believe the Groening has that many more ideas left.

the legacy will live forever!
sad news.

It was bound to happen but is still sad to hear that it is going to end.

If you haven't seen it already, try to check out "Behind the Actors Studio" with James Lipton, on Bravo. There is an episode with all of the voices from the Simpsons. Well, maybe not all, but the big ones.

"I'd love to get to 365 episodes, so there's one for every day of the year with no repeats."

All good things must come to an end.... one hell of a good run

Re: The Simpsons to End

I have a friend that will simply die if this series is discontinued. For his sake, I certainly hope they reconsider!

viva la Bart

That sucks! I don't watch it as much as I used to, but it still the least bit boring to me. There's so many episodes out there that I haven't seen, I still see new ones when I tune in to it. I guess it was bound to happen, since it's so fucking old. They should at least go for 20 seasons! can't think of anything else but Saturday Night Live that's run for that long

End Of Road For Simpsons

Television's most dysfunctional family are to be axed froms screens before they get too boring.

The man behind Springfield's favourite residents - The Simpsons - says it is becoming increasingly hard to develop new storylines.

Matt Groening has signed a deal with the voices behind Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa and co taking them up to a 19th series in 2008.

But he only hopes to do one more series after that in 2009.

Matt, 50, told The Sun: "The Simpsons' success has been unbelievable.

"But the show gets harder and harder every year because we are trying to keep surprising the audience, and trying to surprise ourselves.

"I'd love to get to 365 episodes, so there's one for every day of the year with no repeats."

He said the final five series would see some of the more peripheral characters, such as Bart's mate Milhouse, getting more prominent roles.

"I think we'll see more and more stories about the other characters of Springfield," he said.
