I've actually thought a lot about this. They should've ended it with the "Behind the Laughter" episode, so at the end of season 11. That was in 2000, and I feel the show never truly made it out of the 90s.

Much like the show Seinfeld which went off the air on top, The Simpsons could have and probably should have done the same after year 10. It's still good from time to time, but it's a shadow of what it was in the 90's. |
While that all may be true, it's still pretty popular, and it's not required watching. If people don't like the new episodes, there's reruns available everywhere, and...they can always change the channel. I still enjoy them, myself.
It may not be as funny but I still enjoy watching them, hope they keep going.

It's still one of my favorite shows, and I hope it keeps going for a long time to come. I don't get tired of it. No, not every episode is gold, nor is it quite as good as Futurama was, but overall it's still better than most of what shows on network TV these days. |
Yeah, and you know, as much as I really really liked Futurama (like, the first time I saw the Simpsons levels of liking something), I cannot recall any episode of the Simpsons, I simply refuse to ever watch again, like the episode with Fry's Dog. That has to be one of the saddest, most heartbreaking cartoons I've ever seen.
NEVER. The Simpsons is the only reason why I still keep watching TV. Here in Spain the rest of programs are shit appart from´´La que se avecina´´ which is a really funny show xD
never. its pretty funny. Its different humor to that of family guy . it has a more intelligent humor which won't be please everyone. However i would glady take simpson over family guy or even american dad. South park would be my second most favorite shows tied with futurama .

Pretty much this.
For me, the moment that the Simpson's really jumped the shark came in season 10. In the episode where Homer becomes an outsider artist. There's a knock on the door and homer, thinking it is a person with whom he'd had a fender bender, casually picked up a shotgun to head downstairs.
Yup. Homer Simpson just grabs a shotgun to confront someone. It was a mildly amusing sight gag, but it was clear by that point that sight gags and silliness were more important than story, intelligence, or characters. Instead of evolving on the things that made the Simpsons stand out, they devolved into standard cartooniness.
I guess if they're still making money, then good for them. But so many shows are better. I'm honestly not sure who watches the Simpsons anymore.
Episode 300 i think would have been a good mark to go out on.
Though they've recovered from the trough they hit from 2005-2011 or so. The 11-12 season was pretty good, and they've been passable since.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
The general opinion seems to be that seasons 1 to 8 were the best.
