With all this talk about the simpsons winding up (which is not true the show has at least 2 more seasons according to Groening. It got me thinking about how they might end the show... what would the final episode be like. Any Idears?

It would be a clip show talking about the last 15 years. ;-)

I still want to see an episode where the voice talent is shown cutting the tracks for the show with the video shown in-synch with the episode in a "picture-in-picture" type of deal.

The Simpsons get a call from NBC that they want to show the show again and they go on a trip on the company plane but Homer jumps up and down and causes it to land in Massachusetts. While in town, The whole family gets arrested because they fail to stop and render aid to a fat guy getting robbed. Then they have a trial and the whole town of Springfield comes to testify against the Simpson family. Then they get convicted and have to serve five years in jail. The show ends with Homer doing standup in front of an audience of prisoners. Oh wait, that's been done already.

---------------------------------------- Don Del Grande, [email] Of course, Seinfeld and company were released on appeal when somebody pointed out that (a) trying to stop an ARMED robbery is not the smartest thing in the world, and (b) they recorded the evidence of the crime, and as punishment for thinking that they were better than George, everybody who testified against them had to sit through the complete run of "The Michael Richards Show"

Didn't Cheers end with Sam quietly shutting out the lights, then quietly acknowlegeing "Coach" by pausing at the picture of Sitting Bull, or whoever it was?

Getting fuzzy already.

Marge reveals that everything after Season 8 was just a series of stories she wrote after Homer's heart attack at the end of "The Old Man and the Lisa" killed him, and that the increasingly wacky stories were her way of coping. Also, it turns out that Selma was gay, Patty was married to Smithers, Lisa was the prankster, and Bart was the smart one. ------ "Have you ever cooked a human... out of love?"

Animated Matt Groening make a speech about the show ending but 30 seconds into it he is killed by Itchy and Scratchy, who then hunt down everyone in town.

Homer finds himself jumping randomly between the Ulman shorts, Season 4, and Season 11, courtesy of Ozmodiar, who challenges Homer to solve the paradox of his existence in three different time frames. If he can't, then the universe is doomed! Of course, in the end he can't. The last scene is the entire universe imploding. Pull back to reveal the cast of Futurama watching.

Leela: I can't believe they ended it like that. What a downer. "Have you ever cooked a human... out of love?"

It will be revealed that they've been stuck in some sort of bizarre time warp since 1990 and everyone will suddenly become their proper age!

If no one has aged, explain these facts:

1. Homer is 36 according to the Simpsons Guide, but in "Wizard of Evergreen Terrace" Marge says he's 39

  • In "Homer Simpson in Kidney Trouble" Grampa Simpson has a birthday.
  • In "Days of wine and D'oh'ses" Barney has a birthday.

4. Apu children were born in "Eight Misbehavin' " , but in last night's episode, they were walking better than Maggie (who falls a lot) and saying their first words while Maggie is still in the same develop mental stage.

Final episode, final segment --

Maggie wakes up and it's 1990 and we realize that she's been dreaming the entire series from that point.

The "wake up from a dream" thing has been done. I think the Simpsons will be original... or at least I hope they would...

stoopssharkjumper

actually, i had thought about this before ...

prior to 9-11, i thought it would be a climactic ending to have terrorists take over the power plant. the episode would be a spoof of all those cheesy action movies (you want results? you go to the schwartenaggers, the stallones, and to a lesser extent, the van dammes!). the plot is easy enough to imagine ... homer, because he's a slacker, is away from his station at the time of the takeover. he's ... i dunno ... in a closet. that part's not important. what's important is that he's the only one able to take back the plant. does someone die? who knows? it's the series finale, after all ...

post 9-11, i don't know if this could be done. what i DO think can be done is they can start showing the city of new york vs. homer simpsons again.

They already did the perfect final episode six years ago-Lisa's Wedding. Then they did it again with Behind the Laughter. Who knows what they'll come up with when it's not just "practice?"

-Wyvern

ZedWyvern

"Behind the Laughter" was a good episode, but I don't think it would make a good series finale. They shouldn't do something too different than a regular episode.

Shock everyone by killing them all......it's been done before, so why not for the Simpsons.

Well, the death of Maude Flanders was quite a shock.

I believe Black Adder in England (or so I've heard).

Total massacre happened to end the show or something like that.

Black Adder (I) - Blackadder killed outright, remainder of cast poisoned.

Black Adder II - Assassin posing as Queen Elizabeth kills entire cast.

Blake's 7 - Dayna killed by Arlen (a Federation spy), remainder of crew (save Avon) killed by Federation stormtroopers, Avon (apparently) killed by multiple stormtroopers after killing Blake. (If non-organics are included - Scorpio & Slave destroyed in crash landing, Orac survives.)

All three are BBC series.
