Marge with her hand sadly on Homer's arm in The Simpsons

Although it may not seem like it, The Simpsons will eventually end, and the sitcom's showrunner has begrudgingly weighed in on what a finale would look like and how it would subvert certain expectations of the genre. Matt Selman's conditions for ending the show seem to be pretty straightforward, but they're also a brilliant way for the legendary sitcom to conclude on its own terms.

" I just hope it's just a regular episode with no Winky Winky stuff at all. Just a great family story, just like a classic story that's just funny and involves the whole family and doesn't feel like it needs to wrap up anything or change anything or tie anything up or be magic or talk to the audience directly ."

This safe and proven way of writing a sitcom finale script has long-saturated the genre - as Selman implied in his comments.
