Shame but the yanks should learn fron the brits and only run comedy programs for one to two seasons then move onto something new. You guys just take something popular then run it into the ground

I don't think it really overstayed its welcome too much as badly as everything Seth MacFarlane has made.

Also, does this only apply to comedy shows? Isn't Doctor Who one of the longest running television series of all time?

They share the same creator Matt Groening.

yes, but while the simpsons devolved into celebrity cameos for the sake of celebrity cameos, futurama has always had celebrity cameos as a minor part of the storyline, so it's not just a big animated circlejerk. plus, since futurama is always getting canceled, I think it has a more "who gives a shit?" attitude as far as what they try to get away with. simpsons is broadcast on a public television network so the network execs are going to be breathing down the necks of the producers as to what they can't (or can, this day in age) do.

celebrity cameos cause there is a finite limit to interesting stories about a family that never ages. How many years can they keep it up.
If there is any future left for Futurama its going to be via Netflix picking it up.
