How many seasons do you give The Simpsons?

[alko]

It was renewed for the 31. season. But the lack of quality in the last 20 season is clear. Also the Treehouse of Horror, what was know as the season highlight, is boring.

Also. How much season will The Simpsons have?

Few more years

Last one probably in 2024

The writers took a pay cut to keep it going.

That guarantees some longevity.

Who knows what adventures they'll have between now and the time the show becomes unprofitable

They should age everyone 10 years...would give the writers more to write about if Bart and Lisa were teenagers

 

[dr robbie]

hard to tell. I loved them growing up, but it's not nearly the same trying to watch any of them anymore. I know Groening is in his mid 60s... if I had to take a guess, I'd wager the Simpsons will die with him (not trying to be morbid or anything).

For the answer to this, we went straight to Matt Groening's office:

If they've gone this long with the same quality, I don't know why they'd be interested in stopping in terms of "lack of creativity/quality" or why the people who do drive the numbers for the show would stop watching.

I vividly remember the episode that they went to Toronto as a monumental episode for me in terms of it being a "final nail in the coffin". I think I still continued to watch a little bit after that, but my interest in the show more or less fizzled out completely after that episode. That was Season 13, Episode 11. My opinion of the show from ~Season 14 onward is more or less just catching the odd episode and assuming the show is bad outside of those episodes as well. The golden age of seasons 4-9 or whatever it is seems to ring true for the most part, but there are still quite a few good episodes in the next few seasons after that, it's just really inconsistent.

May happen sooner than you think.

Who is really watching this show now? What's the base? Everyone that I know watched before 2000 or up until just passed then has long since stopped watching. Young kids have no idea about the glory years.

 

[Ceremony]

The Simpsons finished after S9, so I don't understand the question.

They've been the Pimpsons for quite awhile haha. The show now looks like it's some pop culture phenomenon. Very PC. The fact it wasn't PC and outside of the box was it's charm. Now, Seth McFarlane and his fart jokes may as well be the man behind the scenes.

How many

 

[hangman005]

It should have ended with the movie. First 9 seasons ago great, next 10, good, not great, after that, meh.

Waaaayyy too generous, IMO.

It's more like first six-- brilliant, next 3 good, next 5-- mediocre at best, after that-- atrocious and unwatchable, IMO.

 

[PilotRedSun]

I mainly just love seasons 1, 2, and 3. 4 was also very good. Although it could still be very funny, season 5 with Homer going to space and Bart getting an elephant is where the show started to lose me. I think I checked out at the Who Shot Burns conclusion.

The movie was SHIT honestly. Disappointing.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

The movie was just a larger, longer episode. And the Simpsons haven't been funny in like two decades but then that doesn't seem to matter, so I have no idea how much longer it could go on.

 

[blueandgoldguy]

I actually enjoyed the movie. I thought it was a return to slightly past-it's-prime Simpsons from the late 90s.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Season 1 was rough.

Season 2 showed promise.

Sessons 3-6 godly

Seasons 7-8 great

Season 9 great but couple wtf episodes.

Seasons 10 - 11 funny at times but different show now.

The rest not watchable.

I think the only new episode I've watched in a decade was Holidays of Future passed.

The movie was ok too much sappy stuff

 

[Player big P]

Everyone knows The Simpsons achieved perfection in Seasons 3-8, it's a scientific fact

 

[Uncle Rotter]

Julie Kavner's really starting to sound old.

 

[MMC]

I still like the new episodes
