No End To "The Simpsons" In Sight

Fans of the Simpson family will be happy to know that creator Matt Groening sees "no end in sight" for the long running animated FOX series according to The Associated Press.

"My attitude at this point is, as long as the people who work on the show are having a good time, let's keep doing it. We've always tried to entertain ourselves and figured that the outside world would be entertained if we were making ourselves laugh" says Groening.

The key to the show, which returned Sunday night with its 18th season premiere, is to keep surprising the audience - "There's a really good-natured spirit of competitiveness among the youngest writers on the staff who basically grew up watching the show and have a great memory for everything that's gone before. The people currently on staff are determined not to be the staff that caused the show to crash and burn. But also to try to top ourselves" Groening said.

The landmark 400th half-hour, due to air next May, is a spoof of Fox's "24" that's titled "24 Minutes" and features the drama's Kiefer Sutherland and Mary Lynn Rajskub as their characters. The show has been renewed by Fox through its 19th year, whilst Groening himself remains busy with the show, next year's movie spin-off, and planning new episodes of "Futurama" for Comedy Central beginning in 2008.

...and I for one am fucking thrilled!!!

Yeah I know its not as funny as it used to be but I still giggle here and there.
Oh and before you all start your reign of shit, fuck you all and burn... Thankyou~!

Bender: "we are in INERNATIONAL waters though, right?"
Professor: "why certainly"
*boat approaches, bender swaps a suitcase for an unmarked brown bag*
Bender: "guess what YOU were just accessories to!"

"The Vegas odds tonight stand at an unprecedented 1000 to 0. A bet of zero dollars on Bender pays 1000 dollars if he wins. Still, very few takers."

Effloresce · 09-12-2006, 08:13 PM

It's funny... the other day I was thinking to myself "I don't think this show will ever end." I haven't watched more than a couple eps of The Simpsons in my entire life, but maybe I should. How many shows can afford to stay on the air this long?

I think I was in first grade when the show first started.

Mablak · 09-12-2006, 08:28 PM

The simpsons is really not worth watching anymore, such a shame. I wish futurama could be stepped up though. But comedy central, that's weird.

mxzombie · 09-12-2006, 08:50 PM

why don't they end it already

Mablak · 09-12-2006, 08:54 PM

Well I'm sure one of the cast will die sometime or other, but maybe not, you never know.

alisonmonster · 09-12-2006, 10:13 PM

the movieis going to be so bad. the current episodes are barely worth the 20 minutes.

Shapan · 09-12-2006, 10:13 PM

simpsons are still good, we just constantly remember the brilliance of the episodes when they were in their peak and comparatively these shows are weak.

instead of laughing nonstop like i use to i just laugh here and there.

waltermcphilp · 09-12-2006, 10:40 PM

"hey remember the safety dance?"
"hahaha, dun dun dun DUN dun dun dun"
"y'know, that dance wasn't as safe as they say"
