 How many seasons will Simpsons, Survivor, South Park have? So these are 3 shows that have withstanded for a while, and all 3 look to not stop anytime soon. Simpsons is at I believe 17 seasons, Survivor at 11(though its 2 a year so 5.5 years), South Park at 9. What will they end at? I say:
The Simpsons- 24 seasons
Survivor- 19 seasons(9.5 years)
South Park- 16 seasons

The Simpsons have been wheezing creatively for at least 8 years, but creative bankruptcy never, lamentably, kills a show. Only bad ratings do that, and The Simpsons ratings have been steadily declining as well. I doubt it hits 24.

How long was Gunsmoke, the longest running TV series, on for?

Only bad ratings do that, and The Simpsons ratings have been steadily declining as well. I doubt it hits 24. It was declining for a while, then it started seesawing (up/down) the past 3/4 seasons. Actually according to Entertainment Weekly, it's up this season from last. This season's premiere almost got 11 million viewers. No doubt helped by those football overruns though.
I've heard somewhere they'll stretch the show to 20 seasons. (Egad). Season 9 seemed like ancient history. IMO that's when it started to go downhill creatively.
Though I'd watch The Simpsons moreso than... say.. CBS procedurals.

The Simpsons will hit 30 seasons. I'm not kidding either.
South Park is unlikely to end before Season 15-16.

I think Matt Groening has signed a contract to that will definitely keep the Simpsons around for a season 20. So it still has at least another three seasons.
Survivor will end the 1st or 2nd season after Probst quits.

SOUTH PARK hasn't got many episodes in a season compared to THE SIMPSONS. But it's bloody hilarious. Deserves another decade of 14 eps a season.
SIMPSONS - I think it will get to 21, or how desperate Fox gets. I love the SIMPSONS. People think it's gotten downhill, but the jokes these days are still hilarious and fresh.
SURVIVOR - The S-factor is here. It will end when Probst finishes.

The Simpsons - 23, to give it space from Gunsmoke and to get to 500 episodes
South Park - 13, then Matt and Trey will call it quits
Survivor - 18, Then it will go into some sort of syndication run

I am more concerned with how many seasons Lost will have. I hope no more than five.
It will be a sad day for TV when South Park and The Simpsons will be gone.

Guys, I love The Simpsons. Who wouldn't? It's one of, if not the most influential show of all time.
That said, it needs to go away, immediately. Its time is gone.

Only once in a while. Not often. But every single time I do, it's consistently, painfully, distressingly awful.
