It wasn't as funny
as it used to be.

However, before
this grim finale could air,

77
00:03:12,084 --> 00:03:15,002
Rupert murdoch got a
ten-million-dollar helium bill

For the bart balloon in
the macy's thanksgiving parade.

So, fox had to keep
making new episodes

To amortize the cost.

81
00:03:21,927 --> 00:03:24,761
Thus, the quest to end
 the simpsons went on.

82
00:03:24,805 --> 00:03:27,431
In fact,
many now-classic episodes

83
00:03:27,475 --> 00:03:30,601

as series finales.
