>>125486096>If it ever does end It won't. Season Thirty-Something would be such an awkward number to end on, so they're definitely gonna keep this corpse running for as long as they can.
I truly believe the only thing that could end The Simpsons would be for one of the main cast members to pass away. They were real quick to kill off Mrs. Krabappel once her VA passed, so that tells me they saw Marcia Wallace as THE definitive voice for the character and possibly found it offensive to just recast the role. I'm not sure if any other prominent side characters have been killed off due to their VA's death, but I feel like the crew would react the same way should Julie Kavner die (the other three Simpsons VAs are still relatively young). Harry Shearer is the oldest main cast member at a whopping 77 y/o, but I could see them recasting Burns/Smithers/Flanders/Skinner if need be. But not a Simpson. Not Marge especially.
But that's assuming the people running The Simpsons still have a conscience and any dignity left.
