I have seen a few recent Simpsons episodes at UK pace whilst being at my mothers.
Some of the storylines have been so forgettable such as Grandpa wih a jazz singer, its just being dragged out.
Surely now after 25 years it is now time to say goodbye? Since Series 17 (bar 20) it has just been an embarassment.

Simpsons as Lego characters?
Apparently it's a new episode
Its a new ep and its the 550 ep
It's too off the wall, and well they've done everything. I think it should have ended with the film.
Shame really. At it's best it's very hard to beat.
The Simpsons has got to a point now that it will never die due to falling standards or esteem.
The only way it will die is if it becomes unprofitable.
If they had the characters age which Bart & Lisa would be grown up and possibly having kids of their own then it would still be an interesting show, also imagine all the new characters introduced and the more likely killed off by now (Grandpa, Mr Burns, maybe even Krusty)
Bart should be 38 and Lisa 36 now.
And Homer probably dead from a heart attack or something!
Most likely.
a major simpson character is set to die next season and there's a family guy simpsons crossover coming up and bart is to be in american dad.
another new episode in august is going to be set in the future again you.
They pretty much have already, Bart and Lisa haven't acted their ages for years now.
Season 25 is an improvement from the last few seasons, but the show isn't what it was. Accept that and you'll enjoy it more.
yeh. just because your not enjoying lets cancel it
Which won't be happening any time soon the way the Lego Simpsons House keeps selling out so fast at work. Still can't believe it. One of the store big sellers (for what it's worth) like 20 a week are going out the door!
I loved it as a child and enjoyed it as an adult but haven't watched it in years.
Even if they did stop making new episodes they would still show the repeats as they do with Friends (as an example) due to the popularity the show still has.
They should of done like a time jump. Have Lisa and Bart in high school so we can see them go through puberty. Lisa picking out her first bra. Bart and his raging hormones. Just things like that I would love to see these characters do and to develop them. Matt Groening is stuck in some sort of time loop when it comes to the show. Even Futurama moved along with the time. That show began in 3000 and ended in 3013.
Fox will never have the balls to cancel it. The only way this show will come to an end is if Matt dies or if one of the main voice cast does.
There have been several episodes set in the future which depict Bart, Lisa and Maggie as adults.
Yes i know but that's just been for a bit of fun. I am talking on a permament basis. But not as adults, but as Teens.
Virtually every single thing from The Simpsons that has crossed into popular culture comes from those years.
This show has been in a permanent vegative state for over a decade, but too many people won't let them pull the plug and let it die. Not with dignity, that ship sailed a looooong time ago. Just die.
