The Simpsons Canceled?
 

I was just told that the simpsons last season is here. They are pulling it 2 years early. Could this be true?

This show is too big to just "fade away" without the fanfare of an official news story on it.

I'll believe it when I read it on a news site.

I got it from word of mouth so I don't really believe it either.

I've heard these rumors too.

I used to watch it quite a bit a while ago but not so much anymore.... :(

It must be official - it's on Jim's local newspaper website:

Considering that Bart is still 7 - hmmmm
At least Beaver grew up!

Bart's 10, Lisa's 8 :)

so that is the other "in" board to be posting at huh?

Jim said (and I agree) that it'd be very rude & inconsiderate to post there.

Duly noted!

It still won't make up for the millions he's lost on his lame as hell contract.
(yes, he know's it was stupid too - now)
I'm thinking he doesn't really mind.

Very sad but very true its run is over

This is true. Either the show will end production after this season or there will be drastic changes in the production staff. I'd give my source if I could, but it is more than just 'heard from a friend'.

The Simpsons will never end :D

FOX owns the show, all it needs it people that can come up with new stories for the episodes, the production is done somewhere in Asia anyway :D

Simpsons have one issue they need to address, and they do sometimes: The lack of additional characters to play off of. Usually they fix it by having an outside player come in (monorail guy, homer's brother, homer's mother, etc), but they don't have enough people inside the show to make it work just like that. I would expect to see some new people in the neighborhood if things keep going just to add to the fun, or the development of characters not often seen (like the bullies famlies or the cops famliies / relations / etc).

I say the Simpson’s need to advance in age 1 year.... it's time to get Bart in the 5th grade and Lisa in the 3rd, and Maggie needs to talk then come up with some story where the teachers get promoted with them, at least with Edna.

Doing this will open a lot of new story lines I think.

My source says that this Fall will probably be the last season. The info I have is older than this post, so who knows, things are always subject to change in LA.

it seems they have some new moderators over there... is plumpkok also a member of GG&J?? and I see the U W is a charter member and they don't censor his posts :D

I have written them and offered to supply real emails and ip addresses :)

That would be a shame - I just got back into The Simpsons after they bored us on local TV with re-runs for too long...
And I actually think the later episodes are funnier, with more bite, and more references to current events!

They need to have a gay s&m couple who own the local "Quicky Porn" shop and are into beastiality move in next to Flanders - lol!
