I believe the answer to that question was on The Simpsons itself in one episode. Homer and Bart were watching TV when the TV mentions how long The Cosby Show ran (1984-1992 I think, I can't be bothered to check). When Bart asks Homer why The Cosby Show got cancleled after so long, Homer replies something along the lines of "Mr. Cosby was concerned the quality might suffer."

Bart's reply: "Quality shcmality, if I had a show I would run that sucker into the ground."

Homer: Amen, boy, amen.

That may have been a simple joke then, but we have all heard about how the Simpsons is apparently going downhill after so long. The Simpsons is arguably the most popular animated series there is, but as time went on its quality did indeed suffer. The quality of EEnE, in my humble opinion, also waned during seasons 5 and 6. Don't get me wrong, the episodes and the movie were good, but just weren't quite on the same caliber as the previous seasons.

While my nine-year-old self would have begged to differ, EEnE probably should have accepted its death at Take This Ed and Shove It. I would rather have remembered the show at its peak than to have also experienced the (slow, but sure) descent downward. Thoughts on that?
