Why The Simpsons (still) has no spinoff shows.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While The Simpsons has not yet spawned a spinoff after over 30 years on the air, there are many good reasons for this. The Simpsons is one of the most influential TV shows of all time. The series redefined the network sitcom with its cynical, smart brand of humor and proved that animation wasn’t just for children via its outsized commercial success.
5 No Simpsons Spinoff Could Recreate Its Impact No other animated sitcom has been able to recreate the cultural impact of The Simpsons. The series that came closest, the more controversial and edgy South Park, even acknowledged this with a sardonic tribute to the earlier hit: season 6, episode 7, “Simpsons Already Did It.” Despite early production problems such as recasting two of The Simpsons' supporting characters right after the series began, the show hit the ground running.
4 The Simpsons Had Endless Imitators The Simpsons was influential on a macro level, with the show’s approach to television comedy writing changing what viewers expected from the medium. However, the show’s success also impacted television schedules on a much smaller, more specific scale. As soon as The Simpsons proved to be a huge hit, the airwaves were flooded with its many imitators.
3 The Simpsons Relies On Its Supporting Cast Too Much The Simpsons couldn’t sustain a spinoff about the denizens of Springfield since the show itself already requires its massive supporting cast to remain fresh. The show’s spinoff couldn’t take too many characters out of Springfield or focus on supporting stars' stories since The Simpsons relies on them for many plots and has done so for years.
