[ CNN - D'oh: Are 'The Simpsons' leaving soon? ]

"I think we are closer to winding it up," the television show's creator, Matt Groening told the Financial Times in an interview published Tuesday.
Even so, Groening admitted to weariness with the formula of the show, now in its 13th year. "It becomes increasingly difficult as the years go by to keep on not only surprising the audience, but surprising ourselves," he said.

Before I go on a murderous rampage, I'd like to show you the quality programming that Fox has to offer at other times throughout the week. Let's pick out a random one shall we? I'll say 9PM tomorrow night. *checks TVGuide.com*


Wolf Lake - 60 Mins
A dim-witted opportunist (Sam Anderson) cages Ruby in wolfen form and plans to expose her to subscribers of his Internet site. Starring Lou Diamond Phillips.


...we're fucked.


While Groening says that they'll probably keep the show going for awhile, hearing it's creator state that he's getting tired of coming up with fresh ideas is not what I want to hear. I've missed the last few episodes, but last season was fucking brilliance on a comedy platter served up by a half-naked Katie Holmes. I'd rather not see them go out on a low note by running one of the best shows of all time into the ground. Murdoch, you'd better fucking listen to me. Your koalas and boomerangs and fancy-pants lawyers won't matter a rat's ass when my winged marmocets start gnawing at your flesh. I don't want to ruin the surprise, but that is how they begin thier mating dance.

Oh, and BTW, this list is bullshit. I don't know what blind retard they've got reviewing shows over there, but he or she is in for some serious simian sodomy (provided they've got stamina left after Murdoch) if they don't shape the Hell up. ...that was one too many "s" sounds in one sentence, so I think it's time for me to bow out. If anyone needs me I'll be in the crapper, producing CBS's new Fall primetime lineup.

It's a false report. Groening debunked it. I'll grab the link in a second.
