As Raziel said, they feed off of current events. I was watching some show on Vh1, and they were talking about cartoons. It takes southpark about 8 weeks to make an episode, where it takes the simpsons nearly 8 months.

SouthPark will live longer, I think that the simpsons should just end it off right now while they are still somewhat good, they should have like a week long ending special or some bullshit, and possibly have a yearly halloween show. I mean, even this last one wasn't as good as the other ones.
