I can see both Sentai and Matrixbeast's points about cartoons.

It is very difficult to gauge how the viewing audience will judge a certain show. Part of why we lost Avengers:EMH and YJ is because in addition to the market being full of super hero movies both A:EMH and YJ were seen as too dark and grim according to some fans.

Some shows luck out and can go on for what seems like forever (Dr. Who being a good example).The reason I think the Simpsons are dying is due to trying to be Family Guy/South Park edgy and be "family friendly" at the same time and that just does not work all that well.

In the end it is opinion after all. Would I let Simpsons end so there could be a sliver of hope we'd get a good superhero cartoon back? I would, but again it's hard to say what people want these days.

Bill Crosby said that a surefire way to displease everyone is trying to please everyone and I feel that is what's happening with shows these days. Still I do echo Sentai's statements on Simpsons. Matt is creatively drained and should step down so new blood can come and make something new and hopefully better.
