Too many "what got cancelled too soon" questions, what's a show that went on too long?

Hard mode: no The Walking Dead

The Simpsons is still going.

It hasn't been good for over a decade or more at this point.

It's a dead man's switch, if new episodes don't keep getting released, its assumed that the USA has fallen and by the computers monitoring, and the nukes are automatically launched.

Honestly, this makes the most sense to me. I never really hear about the Simpsons now, and don't know anybody who watches it... It feels like it's just being put out into the void right now.

Last decade! Simpsons should have stayed in the 90's.

How is this not the top post? There is no other show that has gone on for longer than should have ended ages ago.

The cast is going to start dying off en masse soon. Harry Shearer is 79. I don't want Harry Shearer to die. I was watching A Mighty Wind just last night. But he's 79.
