The last season actually did have an uptick in quality. The Treehouse of Horror was legitimately excellent.
I don't think Julie Kavner's voice can make it 4 more seasons. It's very sad to say, but her voice has clearly suffered from doing Marge all these years.
If they are adamant on continuing the show though. Why not majorly reduce it to like 5 episodes a year, and actually make them good again, get good writers, not the current corpo-simps, etc.
Most episodes this past season were great, but obviously you have a few filler episodes that were just ok, which really just means you have an idea that didn't work.

The article mentions a reduction of episodes but says nothing about an increase in quality

Yep my immediate thought was "let it die already"

If they were going to learn from their mistakes and make the show funnier again, their opportunity was to do so with season 10.

If they’re going to follow the streaming model, they’ll also have to wait two years between seasons.

36 seasons and I'm the dead horse beater?

I mean this is probably just budgeting.

Current season is pretty good. Best Simpsons in many years

Sounds like slight cost cutting, which is fine.

Full steam ahead I say!
