It's gotta end soon. Even Groening admitted that it's getting more and more difficult to surprise the audiences. So what do you think - will they surprise us with a big finish, or will it be an ultra nice, ultra happy high note? Personally I think they'll take a risk and kill someone off - maybe Grampa Simpson, or Mr Burns? How do you think it should/probably will end?

Read this, its from frinky.com:
Reports of the imminent demise of Homer Simpson and his beloved but dysfunctional cartoon family are grossly exaggerated, their creator said on Wednesday.
In fact, says cartoonist Matt Groening, television viewers are going to have "The Simpsons" to kick around for years and years to come despite what the headlines of the British press might be saying. "D'oh!" as Homer might exclaim.
Groening strongly denied a British newspaper report that he was planning to wind up the series shortly because it was getting harder and harder to find funny things to say.
Cowabunga, dude! That's not the case at all.
"I was misquoted and misunderstood. I don't want anyone to think I am predicting the demise of the Simpsons. They will live on with new adventures for years to come. As long as there are things to make fun of we will be around," the Los Angeles-based Groening said in a telephone interview with Reuters.
The London Financial Times kicked off an international fuss when it quoted Groening on Tuesday as saying: "I think we are closer to winding it up ... Although what happens generally if we win the Emmy for best animation show is that that gives us another couple of years to run it into the ground.
"It becomes increasingly difficult as the years go by to keep on not only surprising the audience, but surprising ourselves."
Groening said these were comments that he often made before but were taken out of context and misunderstood.
"I am always asked how much longer can this go on. I just said that given the fact the we just finished our 300th episode, I would guess we are closer to the end of our life than the beginning. At the end of our 100th episode (one of our writers) said we were halfway home. Now we think the show will last, our ratings are better than ever."
Groening has earned millions for media baron Rupert Murdoch's Fox network since the series featuring Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and baby Maggie first entered the lives of television viewers in 1989. In fact, he predicted that the Simpsons "will continue to make Rupert Murdoch even richer."
He added that he was not bored or unhappy with the program. "After 300 episodes it is more difficult to remain true to the characters. We are trying to top ourselves after all those great shows and the shows are as good now as they have ever been."
"TV Guide" magazine recently placed the animated show eighth on its list of the 50 greatest television shows of all time.
And it retains its ability to cause upset. When a recent episode depicted Rio de Janeiro as teeming with rats, monkeys and street crime, Brazilian (news - web sites) tourist officials were outraged and the show's executive producer was forced to apologize.
The Fox network is part of the Fox Entertainment Group Inc., which controlled by News Corp. Ltd.

Well, first of all i'm saddened by this whole thing with it ending, i was shocked when i saw it but i think that killing someone off will be stupid, they COULD and i emphasise COULD make a comeback later, anyway didn't channel 4 pay loads to get simpsons off bbc2 in 2006 or something, man they got ripped off

If the Simpsons has to end, I think it has to end with an image of the family as they have and always will be remembered by. Maybe something like Grampas death would be good, as it would unite them all. Endings suck to be honest. You need a conclusion, but if deaths going to be the issue it can't be funny to be honest.
I want the last episode to be a hilarious one, a memorable one that will to me remind me what the Simpsons was all about.
And a movie? I think not having one is right. Look at Beavis and Butthead, after the movie, no one seemed that interested in it as much. South Park lost it's huge fanbase after it's movie and even I stopped watching it. I'm happy to see that the Simpsons haven't tried the same, and have instead kept to their traditional method of making us laugh. Sundays are just not Sundays without a short Simpsons episode..

The ending is already planned it has been from the start and it involves the death of a family member which they say is Marge or Maggie. I think they should go out in style and end the show in movie form like Beavis and Butthead. I know movies are planned, but they havent said if it will put an end to the simpsons or just make them bigger, like what South park did.
