Meh, The Simpsons and Family guy are way past their prime. Let them die dignified. South Park after a few more seasons.

South Park has been shit for a few seasons now. It needs to die, too.

Alternatively, put all three out of their misery. |

I wouldn't be too sad to see any or all of those shows retired. I've never found South Park all that funny, The Simpsons is well past its prime, and Family Guy, despite some experimentation of late and the sporadic involvement of Patrick Stewart, was frankly hurt by the creation of American Dad and The Cleveland Show and just feels lifeless and forced now.

Personally I think The Simpsons should've died a long long time ago. However, Family Guy and South Park still have a wee bit of life left in them yet. Not saying they'll still be amusing for more than maybe one more season, but I'd say they're still doing ok.

The Simpsons... god, I can't bear to watch any of their new episodes. I see a couple minutes and think, My god, this is what this family has become? It's so sad. |

Simpsons has been pretty fucking unbearable to watch since about 1998. Family Guy since around its renewal in 2004. I haven't watched much new South Park since about 2004 but what I have seen hasn't impressed me much either. I don't care if all three die. In fact, I'd like to see the Simpsons go just because in its current form, it's an insult to the memory of the show as it once was.

I have not seen a Simpsons episode for over ten years. I have no idea what the more recent episodes are like. .23 years is a long time for anything to keep going. I remember when the Simpsons came out. I was 20-something. I thought it was great because I was a big fan of Matt Groening and Linda Barry and the whole Zine-scene. I put out a Zine myself called, "That Which You Have Never Imagined Has Already Eaten Half of Your Brain." I would be surprised if there were a single surviving copy of any of those issues.

Yeah, South Park started around 1997, Family Guy started in '99.

It became its own series in 1989. |

I have never been a huge fan of The Simpsons. Not that I think its a bad show, I just never watched it so I'm not attached to it. South Park has always rubbed me the wrong way for some reason and I prefer the old episodes of Family Guy to the new ones. As long as they keep getting ratings and making money they will remain on the air.
I just thank the gods that Futurama is back. Sweet, sweet, Zoidberg, how I missed you.

I watched the first few episodes of the new Futurama season, and the quality was all over the place. I decided to bag it after about four so that my beautiful memories of Futurama wouldn't be tainted.
