Simpson’s rumour
Are the Simpson's about to be over?
The Clarion continues to hear the persistent rumour that the Simpson’s will wrap it up with the movie. After eighteen epically entertaining years, this May will see the show’s 400th television episode air.
Despite a dearth of facts or insider sources, the rumor will not be deterred. We keeping hearing that the movie will be the end for the Simpson’s. The plot will be holistic, rather than 3 or 4 television episodes crammed into one vehicle. The Simpson’s creators, Matt Groening and James L. Brooks, have had all this time and opportunity to do a movie. Why now? Why not at the peak of the shows ratings and revenue? The reason we are hearing is because they, Groening and Brooks, want to tie things together. Do a grand finale, a story about the family and the town of Springfield that brings resolution to our dear Marge, Homer, Bart, Lisa and Maggie.
In fitting with that theme, the creators are promising that all of the Simpson’s recurring characters will appear in the film, from Disco Stu through Comic Book Man, Principle Skinner, Aunt Thelma and more...will Sideshow Bob be back?
The upshot, we’re not upset. We have loved the Simpsons, but all things, even good ones must come to an end. Better to go out Calvin and Hobbes style than to hang on too long, getting staler and staler.
