Tell me when Mr. Snrub becomes head of the SNPP.

The problem with new Simpsons is that everything is about jokes every minute or so. The characters no longer have any personality and just exist so that jokes can be told using them. There's not even a hint at a "real" world beyond Springfield.

Also, and I'm not sure if this makes any sense, the character designs now have a very short and squatty look to them with oversized heads.

FX is planning a 12-day Simpsons marathon. 522 episodes, all in a row.

I don't know when this is happening, but I will make sure to watch the first 4 days whenever it does.

Boy, I sure could go for 100 tacos about now.

This seems like the sort of thing they should have done years ago.

Like a THOH marathon on Halloween.

I have a feeling that FXX will become like 70% Simpsons marathons now. The other 30% will be repeats of HIMYM and Parks, while Sunny and The League will likely go back to FX.

Just a hunch, though.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

If they have Matt Groening or Dan Castellaneta hosts this marathon, I'll try to tune in live.

Even though I haven't cared for this show in a long time, the couch gags can still be pretty inventive.

Check out the latest one.

Last night's episode set an all time ratings-low for the series.

The sad thing is that it's still doing better than a lot of other shows airing against it on Sunday nights. And it's even sadder to think that FOX will probably keep renewing it even if the ratings continue to decline even lower.

Avaitor

Eh, Fox has made it clear for a while that they primarily keep the show alive for merchandising profits.

So basically, fi you want the show to end, stop buying Smpsons shit.

I stopped buying it ages ago, so no blame on me. :??:

Welp, at least my sister opting not to go to Universal this summer and going to Disney for our trip to Florida will at least make sure I don't spend any money in the Simpsons park, so money not earned. :P

Avaitor

Aww, Springfield is worth a look (but I'd take Disney over Universal every time as well, unlike some of my friends).

I didn't buy any merch, but I did get a Flaming Moe. Next time I might try to split one of those giant Lard Boy donuts with my friends.
