This Simpsons Fan Theory Could Be The Perfect Way To End The Show

The Simpsons is older than I am. That statement is probably true for many of us. Whilst it was once the pinnacle of TV, its popularity has declined somewhat over the years. Nothing was every going to remain that popular for 27 years.

SO maybe it’s time for it to go, and an added incentive could be to join the notorious ’27 club’ - just a thought. Anyway, how do you end a show as epic as The Simpsons?

Well, Redditor LittleMonkey69 has a suggestion, and it’s perfect…It has all the necessary sentiment and would make for a great ending.

When watching TV as a family, it is announced that Itchy and Scratchy is coming to an end and that there will be a competition to allow a fan to write the finale.

All the Simpsons family members enter the contest, and Krusty falls in love with one of the ideas and decides to make it the winner.

But, on the day he announces the names of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie – they’ve all have won.

Bart is in class describing his take on the Itchy and Scratchy finale to Milhouse, while showing us Itchy and Scratchy with Bart’s voice-over.

He finishes and the class is silent, Edna Krabappel is staring at him and says, “After-school detention”.

The scene then cuts to the power plant and Homer is describing his finale to Lenny and Carl. He finishes, a bell rings and he gets in a radiation suit.

The scene cuts to a supermarket and Marge is describing her take to Helen Lovejoy, she finishes and strolls Maggie in the trolley to another aisle.

Here, Maggie sees the unibrow baby and starts describing her take via waving and motioning.

She finishes and the scene cuts to Lisa, she begins describing her take to Sherri and Terri. She finishes and picks up her saxophone to go to music practice.

She walks in the music room sits down and then sees the time. She realises the show is going to be on in ten minutes. She plays the Itchy and Scratchy melody on her sax and bolts out.

It cuts to Bart, he’s writing on the black board: “I will not talk in class ever again” – he hears a bell, realises the time and runs out.

Cut to Homer holding some plutonium at a conveyor belt when a bell rings at the plant and he too realises the time and runs off, dropping some plutonium.

Cut to the supermarket and we see Marge and Maggie checking out and running through the exit doors.

Cut to a bird’s eye view of their home and we see everyone rushing to take a seat in the couch. They look at each other, they smile, the Itchy and Scratchy music plays, and it cuts to credits.

How amazing is that?

Will it happen? I doubt it, but just reading it has made me want to go and watch an episode of The Simpsons, and that’s the first time in a while I have felt like that.
