Nick Virago Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Am I the only one who thinks Matt Groening has completely gone out of ideas and the show should be cancelled already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Master Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Not really, there will always be more subjects and stuff Matt can use, so I say DON'T END THE SIMPSONS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Dando Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I say do another season after this simpsons movie, then end it. Most of the newer episodes, although funny at times, don't really do it for me. Overall they are less funny and deal with storylines that seem to be ever increasingly off-the-wall, when compared to to the older episodes. Don't get me wrong, I love the Simpsons. Its just a show thats been on for so long, just doesn't have the same quality that it once had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Virago Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 What the hell happened to the poll? :? Anyway, I think the show is now exploiting its own name and milking the franchise for all it's worth, so it should be cancelled and remembered as the great show it once was.

King Dando Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 ^ So your saying they've run out of ideas, but you don't agree that it should be ended? Crazyness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I say, I say Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I think the movie maybe a way of putting an end to the series, I mean it has had a good 20 years or so of running episodes and hasn't needed a film to promote the cartoon. The movie is either being made because the Simpsons team 'can' make the film in terms of money or want to end the series. Of course it could go on after the movie but from the standard of recent episodes it won't be as funny as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotha-Sil Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I don't think I've ever seen the newer seasons. They've just been re-running the old ones here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Dando Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I'd say the best seasons were 6-9, after that it started getting a bit old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchythesamurai Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 "Since 2001 we'd been working to get a script that would be worthy of people actually paying to see the Simpsons" - Matt Groening They've been planning a movie for a good while, I think. Personally, it would sadden me if there weren't any new episodes. Sort of a fear of change kinda thing, comfort factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuz Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Yeah, I had the same fear when Seinfeld was ended. It felt weird when I realised that no more episodes were ever going to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counting_pine Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 OMG0x423a35c7 - A film by Dreamworks, made in 3D, about insects. And the lead is voiced by some sort of comedian. Man, this is ground-breaking stuff. I hope it's not too obscure and unfamiliar for the general public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I say don't cancel it...I personally find it to be a hilarious show. A lot of people don't appreciate it as much because one of the "wow" factors of these animated cartoons is the "how could they do that on TV?" Constantly, I get the feeling of disbelief from people who watch Family Guy, American Dad, and even South Park. All of these shows push the boundaries of what is acceptable on TV, and that's what makes them funny. They are all good shows, but the Simpsons is still some good fun. In conclusion, keep the simpsons and any other animated show on FOX for now until you can fill it with a show that's just as good...which won't happen for a while...

urluckyday Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Oh, by the way, unless contracts change, there will be at least one more season of The Simpsons after the movie comes out. I remember reading it on the news that it was renewed for a couple more (this was last year), and Family Guy got at least one more season in this contract as well. So yea, I doubt the Simpsons will be gone after the movie...I can't wait for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Virago Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Either Way "Family Guy" has taken the spotlight from "The simpsons" over here in Britain It has a different kind of mood. More adult, more sarcastic, more british. I love it and right now I could say I find it more entertaining than The Simpsons. My favourite quote, from Family Guy: The Movie Scientist: [Scientist unfreezes Walt Disney's body] Welcome Back,Mr. Disney. Walt Disney: Are the Jews gone yet? Scientist: Uhh,no... Walt Disney: Put me back in! [Slams the crynogen chamber shut] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiceroX Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 The Simpsons being gone would be one more thing from our childhood leaving us... It sucks! When you think about it, when we're all gonna be 70 no one is even going to remember The Simpsons or Biker Rats from Mars or Carebears or whatever... It's sad.

itchythesamurai Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'm sure The Simpsons is culturally significant to be known for decades to come. Probably less people would be intimately familiar with it, but vague details about it should still be common knowledge for Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
