You know, a lot of people are clamoring for the Simpsons to end.
But a lot more people are going to be upset when it actually does end (including a lot of people asking for it to be cancelled.)

I don't think so. There's functionally infinite Simpsons episodes already since you can just do reruns for years without repeating a single episode.
But anon, they have stories for YEARS!
Moe may have gotten his cell phone but Bart still hasn't owned a bear.
not really
Yeah, BOTH of them
I don't know anyone who still actively watches this in real life
I imagine for the people asking for it to be cancelled it'll be more of a kind of "my dog has been sick and dying for years, I don't want him to die but he can't go on in this state" The only anger at the cancellation from those people will probably be how dog shit the finale is.
>But a lot more people are going to be upset
They're called shareholders, and they aren't human.
The Simpsons at this point is like a guy getting dragged behind a car, legs just stumps anymore, skin completely gone and organs spilling out already begging to be put out of his misery but just WON'T FRICKING DIE ALREADY!
Noone will cry a tear after it.
Take me back please.
People are fricking stupid, nothing and no one is being hurt by Simpsons or Futurama or South Park etc continuing past their "date", there is zero value in wrapping up an episodic show that still brings in money and safe work to lots of people
Imagine your YouTube channel was your main income and the people that thought your quality fell off at one point insisted you should close it down to satisfy their silly ideas about integrity when it has zero impact on their lives, watch what you like and leave everyone else be
ok schlomo
What do you get out of it? If it were a serialized show like One Piece I'd get not wanting to be strung along with endless filler for a conclusion that never comes, but it's an episodic show, you can watch whatever episodes you like and ignore the rest, someone else might like them but either way they're steady employment to a lot of people. Sure I'd love it if the employees got a bigger share of the profits but I'm sure they prefer whatever they have right now over looking for a new job in this climate.

Seems like you should listen to those people. Wouldn't you rather be that guy who had a fantastic channel for a while than a pathetic has-been?
Being "the guy who had a fantastic channel for a while" doesn't disappear just because you continued it past the quality cutoff, but the money keeps rolling in
Yes, it does. Reputation is an actual thing and you can ruin it. You're confused about what you're trying to say. What you mean is that the great content is still there. This is true, just as the great Simpsons years will always be there. But by continuing will past your prime you destroy the reputation that quality built up. You're not the guy with the fantastic channel anymore, you're a washed-up joke who should have stopped years ago.
>but the money keeps rolling in
If all you care about is the money, then what does quality matter in the first place?
You can't eat reputation and everyone whose name is known on these shows is rich beyond worrying about reputation, whereas the unknowns don't have to worry about reputation in the first place
>If all you care about is the money, then what does quality matter in the first place?
I personally don't, I'm saying I don't fault the people that see it as a guaranteed check, some people clean garbage for a living, some people animate garbage, it doesn't have to be personal, it's a product and you're just putting in the hours
>what does quality matter in the first place?
Quality is never guaranteed, you can never know what worked and what didn't, imagine saying okay let's wrap up Simpsons to make something new instead of milking it dry, and then you go on to make Disenchantment
I don't want it to end, we're long past the point where it went into frick it mode, just replace the actors as they die
>we're long past the point where it went into frick it mode
Nah, but I wish it really had. It's just rehashing the same tired shit. I wish it really did go into "frick it" mode and started doing really crazy weird shit not caring at all about what came before or logic or anything. See how weird it could get before they canceled it.
nobody currently watching the nusimpsons does so because they enjoy it, they simply turn it on, because it's something familiar.
I want to know when they Dian episode where they all wake up with normal skin an have less exaggerated personalities than when they were yellow?
I want Simpsons ending to be a season-long event. Invite back every writer you can, reassemble them into their old writer's rooms, ask them for a couple finale scripts each. Give them some time to toss ideas at each other, let each of them say farewell and air every finished episode.
