How will the Simpsons Final episode go?
- Thread starter Uzumaki Goku
- Start date
I mean, that's adjacent to what I'm talking about but not really it...
I dont think its gonna end. They are definitely going to synthesize the characters voices.
I am 80% serious with this prediction too.

I don't know how the rest of the episode will go, but there will be no opening -- it will be shunted right to the very end with everyone converging back home, and the beginning was the end all along.
just do a regular episode. The Simpsons have already done multiple episodes that feel like series finales.
If it were up to me, the first episode of the final season would take place in 1989, with the characters their canon age, and each successive episode would time skip forward until the current year is reached, each episode reflecting an important moment for the family.
*Homer wakes up, goes to the kitchen, the family is heaving breakfast
"geez, I had the weirdest dream... A lot of stuff happened, you all were there but kinda different, like a way less likable version of yourselves. Maybe the death of Frank Grimes is still on my mind, which was quiet recently as you all remember... Whew, glad all this wasn't real and we never have to talk about it ever again"
*Marge gives him a kiss
*the family has breakfast
*fade to black

It'll be a flash forward age up 30 odd years where Bart and Lisa and Maggie are taking their kids with grandpa Homer and Marge to the school Christmas pageant. Bart Jr. Is just like dad and gets a "D'Oh!" from gramps.
Although if we were going in real time since premiere and the show ended this year, that would put Maggie at 32 years old already.

They should end with a huge movie event. I don't know, something along the lines of, say, the EPA dropping a dome over Springfield. Only more proactive.
"I bought Twitter, how much does a Springfield cost? Twenty dollars?"
I don't know what it should be exactly, but there are some imagery/ideas we haven't seen yet floating in my head that I'd like to see, preferably in a big feature-film-finale style event.
The big finale movie:
-Mr Burns finally dies, could kick off the events of the movie, maybe Springfield is to be purchased/merged with Shelbyville. (I wish the original movie didn't waste Albert Brooks' Scorpio persona on Russ Cargill, Scorpio would have fit the bill nicely for a Springfield buyout/takeover in Mr Burns' passing)
-The whole town should be involved
-Some kind of big competition/war with said Shelbyville.
-Springfield should be completely destroyed somehow. There's no going back. (I know it's been moved before and the movie had the dome, but I mean completely obliterated, like all of Springfield's citizens need to start a new life elsewhere and separate)
-Ending could be Mona taking in Homer and the family into a new home, and she can finally see her son and grandchildren grow up.
I would honestly hate if they ended the show on a regular episode.

Yep, and recently dropped one of the best episodes in the series (Pixelated and Afraid).
Matt Groening originally had a final episode in mind for the early seasons...that wouldn't work now. Marge would somehow be revealed to be hiding rabbit ears in that tall hair, revealed to be from his Life in Hell comics. There was even a couple hints to it in the Simpsons arcade game, when she got electrocuted, you could see rabbit-ear-bones in the hair, and a vacuum cleaner pulling on her hair would show ear-like shapes, and when it happened her face would subtly change to be like the rabbits in the comic.
You're like a decade late on this (almost to the day).
D'Oh! Springfield In 'Simpsons' Was Based On Town In Oregon All Along
Matt Groening tells Smithsonian magazine that the show's location is based on Springfield, Ore. He credits the idea of naming it Springfield to the hit TV show Father Knows Best.

Not sure if it's been done (assume it has) but I'd imagine it would be a whole episode based on the opening credits with a little bit of a story to each person passed along the way (Maybe I'm remembering the episodes with all the short stories)
It all ends with them on the sofa one way or another

Well then I suppose I don't feel one way or another about how it all ends.
One of the best episodes in the entire series, Season 8-2, the Simpsons move out of Springfield to a dream town so Homer could work for a new boss as a manager on a new nuclear project. When the family leaves Springfield, they do pass by all the regular characters just like that.
Final Episode: Not a single character speaks. Everyone walks around town, wide-eyed, as if they're truly seeing their surroundings for the first time. Some of them reach out and touch one another as if just now comprehending their personhood. Some of them weep. Some of them stare at the sky. Then, in unison, everyone sits back and closes their eyes.

Maybe they record/animate one every 5 years or so, like the Ted Turner end of the world tapes.
That's because some of them were written to be final episodes.

The final episode should be a triple length expansion of this. Also made by Hertzfeldt.
That or they don't cancel it and instead suddenly have everyone start ageing in real time each season until the heat death of the universe.
