I wish we could just let entertainment brands die. How many other opportunities were denied to other creators so the Simpsons could keep its budget over the decades.

I don't care about Fox's profits, it doesn't help me in my personal life or make new better shows.

Let stories have endings again.

Classic TV shows never had endings. They were always ridden into the ground before being surprise-cancelled.

It was rare that a show would have an actual last episode like MASH or Cheers. Those too went far longer than they should have.

I don’t think there’s Simpsons will ever die, even if all the voice actors pass on. They have way more than enough audio to train AI on their voices, and the Simpsons predates any agreement to not train on their voices. It’ll go for 60 years if it continues to bring in money.

You don't need AI, you can just find some one to recast, the Simpsons has done it before and recently Rick and Morty recast their primary voice actor that dies the voices for both titular characters.
