Ok I have seen people talking about wanting to get The Simpsons cancelled. I have even seen a petition – what is that about!?! The Simpsons rules! More importantly is a legend and I have three reasons why it shouldn’t be cancelled. You may not agree with, that’s fine but just know that you are wrong ;).
First of all, even, let’s say that, The Simpsons is dumbing down. That isn’t going to be fixed by Fox pulling the plug. You want to express this, write in to Fox or Matt Groening and tell them! Don’t just say I want the show cancelled, do something about the problem.
Secondly, I have heard a lot of complaints about the shows being edited, punch lines being cut out, etc – that is a problem for you in the US with your advert breaks every five minutes. It isn’t a problem for us in the rest of the world, don’t lumber your problems on us.
Finally, The Simpsons is a legend. It’s part of our culture. I mean we hold a celebrity polls and fictional characters are beating real people. When socialising I use nothing but a string of Simpsons, Futurama and Family Guy quotes. It’s the only show I know of that gets 4-5 prime time slots per night! Are you willing to let that fade into the past?
