Streaming is awful! The quality of streaming is not on par with physical media. I don't want ads or subscriptions or low bit rates and all that crap, I want to own it! I love having the physical season sets to appreciate. I don't want to be tied to a computer or watch on a tiny tablet. I also don't want to be tied to needing an internet connection! So what if the market is smaller, its still a market, theres still money to be made. Pulling stuff like this also does not make a good image of fox showing it does not appreciate its dedicated fans. Furthermore, the excuse that piracy is too blame is BS. Piracy has been around for years now and they never had a problem before. Plus all the other media companies are still releasing DVDs etc. without using that crummy excuse. Last point is this, this is The Simpsons!! You are telling me the 'The Simpsons' isn't making a lot of money on DVD! Hello!, its one of the most popular and longest running TV shows ever. It's so stupid you get niche releases but the freakin' Simpsons isn't selling enough?? WTF

I'm not fully up to date in buying all the DVD sets but I will be one day... at least I was hoping to be. looks like I may never be now. This will only encourage piracy as if you don't provide people with a way to get the episodes they will create their own way to complete the set. I was disappointed when King of the Hill stopped at season 5 but I'm even more disappointed with The Simpsons stopping. I still have a few more seasons to catch up with the DVDs but I look forward to watching what's out there and checking all the awesome artwork and extras that comes with them and will be sad that it may never be complete.

We need to have the rest of the seasons on DVD & Blu-Ray. Don't feed the Pirates. I don't want to watch the show on an app. Been watching since the 1st episode & have continued faithfully thru to the current season. Please reward the fans for being loyal.

A very sad day for physical media. If the biggest longest running show on TV can continue to release content on disk, other show releases will soon dry up. Streaming & download services don't even come close to quality compared to DVD / BLU RAY. Another example of digital media advances leading to a backwards step. Very sad

I just bought season 17 today. I've purchased every box et (Lately the collector's heads) For over ten years now. The Simpsons was the only series I was looking forward to buying every year & one day owning the entire series. Not everyone is as into streaming services as the suits up top think we are... Please continue releasing the DVD's, or at least the Blu Rays.
