7300 days ago The Simpsons were thrust forth from Matt Groening's
bearded womb onto the world.

20 years is long for any show, any series, concept, spin off let alone
a cartoon.

The shame is, although it has endured for this long, for the last 10
years (and i include the movie here) it feels like The Simpsons has
been some elderly relavtive of Fox's, (Simpson years are like dog
years you see 1=7) has been on lifesupport. Machines and tubes coming
in and out, pumping the faint drips and flecs of comediec brilliance
that once abounded round a decrepid and faiing system.

Whilst the Simpsons has been allowed to fester in it's vegatative
state it has clawed in billions in revenue for Fox, and drained it's
resources from other shows. Family Guy died many times, and was barely
brought back from the brink. Futurama breathed it's last, whilst the
Simpsons plodded ever onwards, a life sucking force bringing down
everything around it.

Fox - it's time, let the younger ones live now. Pull the plug and let
our yellow friends slip out with some semblance of dignity, before all
that remains is an empty husk, devoid of any fresh ideas or
intelligence and satire that once reigned high.

Let them go in piece.
