RIP, Sam Simon creator of the Simpson's who has lost his battle with Cancer, granted the Simpson isn't what it once was but it is still one of the most successful shows of all time.

    This was expected, sadly :(

    Although he had long stopped working on the show, I know he was still acknowledged as an executive producer.

    It goes beyond that, in my opinion.

    The Simpsons is a cultural phenomenon and without the work Simon did in conjunction with Groening and Brooks to develop the show in its early years, it's hard to think it would have ever got close to that.

    It's this that makes it a sad day for all Simpsons fans.

    RIP Sam Simon. :(

    I agree. He was a co-creator of The Simpsons. Says it all really :(

    very sad indeed.

    There is some consolation in that his passing was well prepared for. RIP
