maybe that's part of their whole scheme with family guy. axe the simpsons in 2 or 3 years and replace it with family guy. that's the only show i can possibly see filling those clown sized shoes of sundays at 8pm.

When Matt runs out of ideas. But I can come up with a couple of episode ideas if you want

gilligan fanatic · 03-28-2005, 03:29 PM

Four or five more years, tops

Its amazing how long it has lasted already.The writers are genuises to keep coming up with new jokes.I can see it lasting for awhile yet.

It's been very uneven the last five or six years and while I'd hate to see it go, I think it's time they put it to rest. They've run out of ideas and it's very seldom there's a rock-solid, laugh-out-loud episode like during the glory days (1991-96).

I'm not berating the writers - after 15 years, it has to be tough finding fresh ideas and new angles for the characters. It's just too bad they're running it into the ground rather than going out on top creatively.

Of course, I will be loyal to the end, so it's not like I'm going to stop watching anytime soon.

another 20 or 30 years

For 4 or 5 more years.

Well FOX is certainly not going to cancel it. The only reason that I can think of as to why the show would ever end is if they run out of ideas, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon because there are so many characters on the show that they can do eps about and there always seems to be something going on for them to make fun of.
