So theoretically, the Simpsons could go on indefititely considering the fact that they parody current events (political, philosophical, religious, etc) and the writers are ever changing, which is what keeps the show fresh. Of course, ever-changing writers means that there will be shows that some viewers don't like because of their particular style. Which is also why there are recent blocks of episodes that I didn't find very funny.<BR/><BR/>My vote: Keep the show going as long as it can.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09166838174791926206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878403.post-1123598108603600282005-08-09T07:35:00.000-07:002005-08-09T07:35:00.000-07:00They could sure use a lot fewer Lisa-centric episo...They could sure use a lot fewer Lisa-centric episodes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684884078777504189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878403.post-1123596913736386272005-08-09T07:15:00.000-07:002005-08-09T07:15:00.000-07:00Keep them coming.

Sure, there will be a time to say no more, I guess that is when the writers are spent and they have squeezed all they can out of the show. Maybe they can do a spinoff, you know Bart and Lisa as teens. Or a show just about the dark life of Moe. O.K. maybe not, but we sure enjoy them and I am amzed at how often I run across one I haven't watched before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878403.post-1123517161468811072005-08-08T09:06:00.000-07:002005-08-08T09:06:00.000-07:00ok, i started to leave you a comment, but then i w...ok, i started to leave you a comment, but then i wound up starting my own blog, sorry ed. anyways, i loved and still love the simpsons. I think they still have a couple of years left before they need to hit the eject button. It is our generation they started with, and we are the ones still watching in our 20's and 30's. I still enjoy them and will for some time, i just wish i could watch them when they are on, and not have to wait until DVD.Fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07300249020602778796noreply@blogger.com
