    Simpsons hasn’t been canceled nearly the same number of times. Futurama is the zombie that won’t stay down.

            Watch it until you stop enjoying it. That line is different for everyone, but I promise you that once you feel like it’s really gone down hill, it won’t get better

            Don’t do that to yourself. Season 5 is the original show runner’s intended ending. It goes for 15 seasons and a lot of it’s flawed charm comes later. Like Futurama, everyone has their decided ending for supernatural. Mine is after season 11.

            It’s a personal take, but I think that when it stops taking itself as seriously it becomes more fun to watch.

                It improves. I’m not the best salesman for it. Most honest fans will tell you the show is flawed. It’s monster of the week for most of season 1. The creature stories get better in season 2 and the overall plot starts getting more interesting around season 3.

                Season 4-5 are considered the best. Season 7 it starts dunking on itself and it’s premise, and becomes more cheesy but with a lot of found-family/parental trauma motifs (everyone in supernatural has beef with their family.)

            6 tries to resemble 5 alittle, and 8 are quite decent, and only 11. almost every other one is wierd and awkward.

        Simpsons the show i imagine basically only exists in the modern era to sell merch because its early exposure made it such a strong international brand
