The Simpsons is never going to end. It's going to keep on running and running, even when no one is watching and TVs don't even exist anymore, Homer, Bart et al will still be there. It has now passed the stage of there being more bad seasons of the show than good/great/ridiculously amazing ones, with a well-documented decline over the last decade or so. However, it's on this list because of the fact that it's the freaking Simpsons, and when it gets it right nothing else compares. Harry Shearer is back, and the audience will be too, just in case it somehow manages to rediscover a little bit of that magic or spark that made us all fall in love with it in the first place. It'll probably end up in bitter disappointment once again, yet still there's always that glimmer of hope we'll be having crushed on on September 27.
