At this point, it would take the departure of one of the main cast to halt the show (and, given how Harry Shearer's potential exit in 2015 led to no course alterations, even that may not be enough). But even with a massive drop in quality, a movie, and contract renegotiations from stars demanding a pay increase, The Simpsons has soldiered on. This is doubly true given that previous adult animation benchmark, The Flintstones, bowed out after six seasons. What goes up, must come down (except for Bob Hope, Sinatra, Dean Martin and Tom Jones), and critics were always anticipating the yellow implosion. The prospect of The Simpsons ending has been raised dependably throughout almost its entire run.
