how many hours(days? weeks?) is all Simpsons episodes?

some dumb people do entire series go through in the lead up for the end of stuff or a new entry.

the dumbest version of this is people trying to 100% pokemon or zelda games with new mainline entries announced

This is especially cursed because you'd be comparatively lucid through the good seasons, then after the third day you start to enter the hell just as your sleep-bereft hallucinations begin.

apparently the longest a human could stay awake is about 12 days.

so a never sleep marathon is technically human possible.

Without drugs or having a nurological condtion. With Morvans syndrome, or Fatal Familial Insomnia you can go far longer!

er, you really don't want to have either of those.

They actually had a series finale in the can, and then aired it for some reason. I dunno I guess they got lazy and didn't want to write a Christmas episode that year.

"Holidays of Future Passed", season 23 (lol 12 loving years ago).

It was OK

If it had ended after season 8, it would have been remembered as a perfect TV show.

If it had ended after season... 12-ish? It would have been remembered as one of the best comedies of all time that faltered in its final years (like The Office).

If it had ended after the movie, it wouldn't have completely overstayed its welcome and could have gone out with a spectacle (though I maintain that the movie is pretty bad... but the general public seems to think the movie is decent?)

Instead, we got... well, you know.

Season 9 isn't all hits but "Simpson Tide" and a few others are too good to cut the season entirely.

"Spin-off Showcase" would have made a good finale.

I'm rewatching it all again and honestly there's a point around season 6 where it stops being as genuine and starts becoming self referential and whacky...... maybe the good season never existed..... Xanadu....

Considering that it followed "Homer's Enemy“ it could have been the perfect 1-2 punch to end the series.

Black Gold!

So apparently, the show killed off one of Moe's barflies, Larry. This guy:



I only know of this from my phone's newsfeed with the clickbait title, "SIMPSONS KILLS OFF BELOVED CHARACTER AFTER 35 YEARS!" and I'm like, "...Who? ...Oh yeah, that guy."

I didn't even know he had a name. Larry Dalrymple. The other barfly with the hat and vest is named Sam. I had to look this info up. Calling him a "beloved character" is a stretch lol.

They should kill off a character every episode. The final episode will just be Kearney

Yep, they should just keep killing off characters until none are left. Last episode plays and even in the intro there's no charcters. It'll keep cutting to new scenes and angles, like there's a show playing but no one in it. The only sound, the occasional music cue. Then after 22 minutes it just ends.

Think how much money they could save on animation and vo work!!!

Nope. Mrs. Krabapple has also remained dead. Krabapple was also married to Ned Flanders at the time, so Ned's clearly a wife murderer.
