The simpsons could still continue in some form long after the show ends though.

The Simpsons renewed through 2025, will pass 800-episode mark
- Thread starter Don CT
- Start date
Yes, that's true. Movies are a possibility, but maybe a year or two after the series finale.
In some form, perhaps. But we're talking as a regularly scheduled series. What happens to the IP after that ends is purely a guess.
Not only that, the actress doing Bart's voice has always been older than the actor doing Homer's.
How can you tell? She really should have given up trying to do the voice like that years ago. Sounding like Brenda on "Rhoda" would have been fine.
Harry Shearer is about the same age as Mr. Burns. One of these days he'll die or have to be replaced.
In fact, most of the cast is getting up there in years.
I know he's almost 80 the one that voices Marge is 72.
Disney owns the catalog.
How does that compare to other long running regular sitcoms.
We know that. It doesn’t change the question of what, if anything, nor when, they might do something with it.
It will stream on Disney Plus for eternity
Fox still owns the broadcast rights and pays for new episodes.
A lot of network shows are owned by other studios.
they should really just shift them to Hulu if they are gonna long periods with no new episodes
This is absurd. It’s a few weeks where they have sports obligations.
no football next weekend, just an awards show the fewer people will watch
They do this every year since the beginning of tv of course in the early years tv shows had about 39 episodes a season now they have anywhere between 13-22 episodes a season where 20 years ago it was anywhere between 22 and 26 episodes a season. From September to May they have new episodes spread out through those months with repeats during holidays and winter and sometimes during the early spring and by late spring the last 6 new episodes air of the season. Then repeats during the summer.
no NFL this weekend, but Fox is still preempting it for Sports, just the sport will shift from the balls to motors as it's NASCAR's season premiere exhibition race the "Busch Light Clash" at The LA Olympic Coliseum.
Sports, which they have, not expending new episodes against tentpole events on other networks, and waiting until your schedule permits greater continuity of airing episodes week to week is common practice. Whatever this hang up is over a common business practice, it’s something fictional on your part.
