What will the reactions be?

It won't surprise me.  That's been on for going on 23 years and 2 dead cast members later.

For me, The Simpsons has already finished, it fails to make me laugh any more.

I hope it ends.  It is like seeing a decaying corpse getting beaten.  Seriously, and it is cringe worthy when Simpsons does modern technology and social media jokes.  Mapple anyone?

It's been around for 24/25 years. It needs to end soon!

I thought the show was okay until about 2004. After that it was downhill.  ::)

Vouch.

There are so many episodes and reruns over here in Germany - I really lost the overview and I absolutely don't care...

I'm actually going to miss the show but also be glad that it no longer overstays its welcome.

nothing but 25 years of repeats.

I don't watch it as much as I used to.

and the thing is the characters never grew up.

It should have ended in 2005.  :o

They will keep it going at least until 2019 so that the show runs for 30 years or more....

I used to love it along with the rest of the Sunday lineup. I don't watch it now because I outgrew it so I don't know what's on the show now. They have to run out of ideas at some point.

To be honest, I want Family Guy to end more. That show is horrible.

I feel the same. I don't like today's episodes as much as the 90s ones but at the same time, it's been around for all my life.

Exactly! They're just bad taste.

That show did end at one point in 2002 since the ratings were downhill, but because of the DVD sales in 2003 and 04, it was revived back on TV in 2005 and it has been continuing ever since.

That's what I was thinking, it should've ended years ago.

wow, for 26 years, whoever thought it would last this long?  :o

Let's say Matt Groenig passes away, will it continue to keep running?

Family Guy has become a bit dull.

Exactly! They're just bad taste.


Maybe they're attracting a different audience.

What will happen once The Simpsons end? They'll make a spin-off probably. It happened with the Popeye series (starting from the Old ABC cartoons to 'The All New Popeye Show' to 'Popeye and Son'), The Flintstones and all it's incarnations (the one I remember is 'The Flintstone Kids'), Yogi Bear and Yogi's Treasure Hunt and Yo Yogi!, He-Man and The New Adventures of He-Man, Inspector Gadget and the rotten Gadget Boy and Heather...

Recently, we had 'The Cleveland Show' spinning off from Family Guy.

I wonder what incarnation The Simpsons would turn into next? Maybe The Springfield Kids where all the adult members are children? Of course, this would remove Bart, Lisa and Maggie from the picture.

Do you think it could work? ???

    What has happened over the past decade is that the Simpsons are just making jokes that appeal to the lowest denominator.  Back in the early to mid 1990s one had to have a good understanding of literature, pop culture and history to get some of the better jokes.  I stopped looking at new episodes when I was in High School, around 2001. None of the characters were behaving the way that they used to. For example, it seemed to me that Homer and Bart were acting more like partners in crime rather than father and son. Another thing I noticed was that they were brining on way too many celebrity guests, in an almost SNL type of way, appearing as themselves rather than a character the writers create. This show will end on season 30  to feed Matt's gigantic ego and keep  future generations of the cast members set for life. I have the first eight seasons on DVD and watching them is fine enough in my book. 

What other episodes could they come up with nowadays?  ???

Has all subjects been covered now?

American Dad is funnier than Family Guy now, especially Roger the alien. Something about the humor and characters of American Dad that I have grown to appreciate over the years.

But yeah, I stopped watching Simpsons years ago.
