After 17 seasons, has the Simpsons lost its appeal?

I love this show because it's a cartoon that has lasted 17 seasons. I'm not down with every episode but it can still crack me up. It was a gate way to other greats like king of the hill and family guy! When it's time comes, which may be soon, I will take my hat off to those guys!

Since it debuted on December 17, 1989, the show has aired 381 episodes in eighteen seasons. As of March 20, 2006, the show has been renewed through its nineteenth season, which would air in 2007–2008.[4] The eighteenth-season finale will be the 400th episode, and the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons franchise will be celebrated in 2007.

Well up until the episodes that have aired this year (meaning the last two episodes), Desperate has been pretty dull.  Nothing has touched last season's storylines.  Of course, the shine is wearing off so they've had to come up with completely different concepts and stories.  But if it keeps up the stories like it has (and it seems they will with this nun and Carlos), then I would say its still gonna be hot.  I know I watch every week.

Family guy and simpson, but now family guy is more funny than the simpson. The simpsons were even more funny 5 or 6 seasons ago.

To be honest I am getting tired of it. I mean the same things happen every year. I guess I might watch it next season but I probaly won't every week like I use to. I use to love the show but than it turned out to be completly boring except for a few things.

Unfortunately, people like us who loved the show are rare.  The majority of the viewing public is retarded and doesn't know what good comedy is.  So, Futurama is no more.

Yes, there were only six seasons.  I couldn't find a release date, but season 5 came out last June.  Perhaps this summer?  Season Six was far from my favorite.  It's depressing that all the shows I like end up getting cancelled. However, what is more disturbing are the characters are all on cop shows.  I can't watch any of the Law and Orders because of it.  Just too weird.

I agree, it is very sad. I used to love the Simpsons but it has turned into a parody of itself. I guess they put money first when they should have done the honourable thing and finished it before they ran out of ideas.

I think it was time for it to go.  They were running out of story lines.  \n\nIt was a great show, I had a lot of good laughs.  \n\nMy favourite character was Karen Walker, with all of her barbs & jabs at Grace, and Will, and then her playful banter with Jack. \n\nThe ending was sweet, but left kind of empty.  Who knows, maybe they opened a door for the kids to have a show.  LOL.

The Simpsons... spinoff from the Tracy ulman show.

The network moved it around so much it was hard to find. Also, there were problems "behind the scenes" with production, etc. The ratings fell after the show was moved around.\n\nIt was cancelled. I think the remaining episodes will be shown later in the summer.\n\nI liked the show, too.

I was so obsessed with it starting from season 4 (tail end of season 3) all the way to season 7. Out of those four seasons I have missed only "Saving Private Leo" from season 4, but caught up with transcripts. I have watched only three episodes from this season, as my interest has finally tapered off. I had some great years with it, I knew absolutely everything about it, but I've grown out of it, I think. I still like it, but it's been long enough for me.

I prefer The Simpsons, although I enjoy both shows.  The Simpson's writing is a lot smarter and more consistant, whereas Family Guy will suddenly stop and throw in ten seconds of surrealism out of nowhere - with The Simpsons, that same ten seconds would be woven seamlessly into the episode, and make sense within its context.  Perhaps not as funny, but much harder to do, and much more satisfying in the long run.
