More seasons of The Simpsons and King of the Hill

The Simpsons isn't really that much of a surprise, but King of the Hill is. I remember reading something at the start of this season that Mike Judge wanted to end the show after this season, so this announcement took me by surprise.

I'm have mixed feelings over both shows though. On the one hand, I'm glad that were getting more episodes, but on the other, it seems pointless unless they improve in quality. It's no secret that both shows have lost their edge over the last few years, so I'd rather see them go now instead of dragging on with shitty episodes for more years to come.

So how do you guys feel? Are you excited over this news, or saddened?

Yeah I thought King of the Hill was over as well. I guess FOX have pursuaded them other wise.

Simpson will probably go on forever. Its one of those shows you can't really go wrong with, sure they are going downhill a little but are still entertaining none the less.

If The Simpsons ever goes off the air, it will truly be a sad day. Some short-lived shows we watch leave a void when they go away (like, for me, when Ed ended or when Cartoon Network stopped making new Samurai Jack and Courage the Cowardly Dog episodes). Imagine the void left from The Simpsons. What an odd world that would be.

Yeah, but with all the reruns in syndication, no one would notice. Outside of the regular broadcast, it comes on 11 times a week in my area.

For some, it would be one not worth living in.

The Simpsons have been sucking for the past 4 seasons or so. I ask Fox to please let it die gracefully. They have had too many good episodes for the show to be mired by the crap they're showing today.

I really don't care seeing as The Simpsons isn't funny anymore and King of the Hill sucked to begin with.

I still enjoy Simpsons. Its good, but we don't have as many memorable episodes like Behind the Laughter and such...but its still good.

Too bad Fox sucks. They would know that Futurama is oodles better than King of the Crap.

Yeah I definitely heard that too. Well money changes the world, so apparently he's getting paid pretty well for this upcoming season.

Not forever, but I wouldn't be surprised if my kids grow up watching at least re-runs of The Simpsons.

The Simpsons should have called it quits after season 9 or so. The rest went from mildly tolerable to (more recently) downright atrocious.

Well rumor has it that Fox might be ordering up another 26 episodes of Futurama, and one can only hope.

You've got to admit though, imagine what it would be like without the Simpsons? Having said that, the reruns probably will last forever.

I haven't watched any new episodes of The Simpsons for about two years, and I haven't really missed it. Mind you, with basic cable in my area there are five channels that play the Simpson's once a day, all at different times, as well as extra broadcasts on the weekend.

I think that King Of The Hill has always been vastly underrated. Since '97 when it started, I think it has consistently had more intelligent, subtler writing than the Simpson's season of the same year.

But, like others, I'd rather see Futurama back (here's hoping).

It isn't a rumor. Billy West himself stated it initially on his forums. He is quite kind to his fan-base.

King of the Hill has been shit since I first saw it. I fail to see how on Earth it made it past season 1. I've watched episodes from time to time and nothing in them strikes me as funny.

But then again, this is the same network that has been beating the dead horse (Simpsons) for over a decade now.

Sorry to dissapoint you guys, but you should really read the Futurama thread, the rumours aren't true, read the forums at billywest.com

The link that isn't working? >_>

Here's one that should work...
