End Of Road For Simpsons
Television's most dysfunctional family are to be axed froms screens before they get too boring.
The man behind Springfield's favourite residents - The Simpsons - says it is becoming increasingly hard to develop new storylines.
Matt Groening has signed a deal with the voices behind Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa and co taking them up to a 19th series in 2008.
But he only hopes to do one more series after that in 2009.
Matt, 50, told The Sun: "The Simpsons' success has been unbelievable.
"But the show gets harder and harder every year because we are trying to keep surprising the audience, and trying to surprise ourselves.
"I'd love to get to 365 episodes, so there's one for every day of the year with no repeats."
He said the final five series would see some of the more peripheral characters, such as Bart's mate Milhouse, getting more prominent roles.
"I think we'll see more and more stories about the other characters of Springfield," he said.
