I like **Lumpy** ’s idea. And I don’t think it really matters what state they live in - isn’t it really just Anywhere, America? ---

Check [this site](http://www.snpp.com/) and specifically, [this link](http://www.snpp.com/guides/lisa-3.html) for the last word on the “Where is Springfield” question. to wit - from the second link above (scroll down to 3.2) > [@](#): > > Where IS Springfield, anyway? > > “Springfield” is a fictional location. One more time for the world: “Springfield” is a FICTIONAL location. It is not in Illinois, not in Massachusetts, not in Southern Missouri, not in Northern Kentucky. MG says he chose the name because it is one of the most common city names (121 Springfields exist in the U.S.) and the setting of the antithesis to The Simpsons, Father Knows Best. Indeed, from Groening’s childhood perspective, Springfield was “the next town over” from his home in Portland, Oregon. Got it??? ---

I think the show should descend into straight up hardcore porn, like all the other shows on fox are destined to do. ---

Promise of a big “never seen before on television event,” the screen goes black for about a minute, then Krusty says “Oh, wow. They’ll never let us show that again.” Fade. ---

RexDart has the right idea. They should pardoy just about EVERY “last episode” known to man. The capper MUST be the worst finale ever: Family Ties. They MUST have a curtain call! Other finales: - Cosby breaking the fourth wall to dance off with Rashad. - Saved By the Bell’s pitiful graduation - ALF is revealed - Benson where it is left unrevealed who won the race. - The Fugitive where he catches the one armed man - Magnum PI- The Robin Masters Mystery is left unsolved. - Quantum Leap- Where he sits in a bar and MAYBE talks to God -Waltons- Doesn’t John Boy leave Walton Mountain? ---

I think all of you are ruining it. After reading all of these the last episode is going to be a letdown. Very funny suggestions. My favorite is the one where everybody dies and Homer is oblivious to it all. I also like the parody ideas but only if it’s completely over the top. ---

Why does the show have to end? Is the world going to run out of things to satirize? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-should-happen-on-the-last-simpsons/122856.md?page=3)
