Groening may pull plug on The Simpsons
The Simpsons: is this the beginning of the end?

Actually, Matt Groening said "we are closer to winding it up", which technically has to be true, doesn't it? I mean, barring time travel, every day brings you closer to the end.

Groening is bitter about what he sees as poor treatment of "Futurama", which he was more involved with these days anyway. I thought "Futurama" was OK, but it was an SF parody more than anything; I couldn't see it enjoying a broad audience for an extended period, and it was too expensive for a niche show.
