They’ve been saying the show will end for years. It hasn’t happened yet.
Although, to be honest, the show has been hit or miss most of the time anyways. The last few seasons have been especially weird. It’s been insufferable in other ways. And it tried to hard to make social commentary, but always came off as talking down to the audience. They’ve made homer even stupider than he was, which is a feat in and of itself. And Lisa. . . She can single handedly ruin an episode with her nagging.
I know the shows ratings aren’t what they used to be. Most people who grew up watching it have long given up on it. Hell, I only watch it as background noise on Hulu while I’m doing something else and when I pay closer attention, I have the urge to just change it to something else.
If the show focused more on comedy, it would bring back a lot of viewers, in my opinion.
Either which way, I doubt it’ll go anywhere. At this point, the two things keeping it going are the record length and its iconic name.
