Simpsons is interesting. I think it had an impact on live action sitcoms. The whole schlubby dad doing crappy parenting (but with a heart of gold) -- nm - Amy Feb 10, 11:38 2
- Yeah, I keep wanting to say that the Homer/Marge dynamic was written as a parody of the existing dumb-dad/taking-care-of-everything-mom trend, but... - Dr.Vermin Feb 10, 11:54 1
  - and that's an evolution of the character anyway. At the start, the show was a family sitcom that just happened to be animated. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 11:57
I don't think The Simpsons should ever end. -- nm - David Feb 10, 11:37
I think it would be a huge deal the entire last season, leading to a finale that is widely watched. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 11:34
come to think of it, that show probably has had more impact than Friends -- nm - zork Feb 10, 11:33 6
- Agreeance. But it's got the advantage of a lot longer run. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 10, 11:35
- but it doesn't count in the convo, because it started in the 80s -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 11:34 4
  - the very end of the 80s -- nm - cupixie Feb 10, 11:35 3
    - 1990 -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 11:37 2
      - Dec. 17th, 1989 -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 11:39 1
        
        and if you count the shorts, 1987. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 11:47
I wonder how many fans who dropped the show would come back for that - prayformojo Feb 10, 11:32 1
- Maybe. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 10, 11:34
I imagine a Victory Lap Season would be fairly big to say nothing of the Finale. - Mel Profit Feb 10, 11:31 3

  - It's got to someday if only because key cast members will die. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 11:50 1
    - Don't worry, Groening has every key cast member reading the dictionary in multiple emotional tones. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 11:51
I think that's the last thing on par with Cheers/Seinfeld/Friends ending. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 11:31 1
- A Simpson's finale with Cheers, Seinfeld, and Friends characters would be awesome! -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 10, 11:35
