    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.
