Should Marge have another baby?

So, should a fourth child be added to the Simpsons cast of characters, or should the current lineup remain?

Yes, of course. That way Fox can cancel The Simpsons and Start "Homer and Marge plus fhe four kids that don't age for some reason".

^I know you were quoting The Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie Show, but adding a new character might bring down the ratings. I mean, even though I wouldn't like this forth child, I would still watch it, but some fans might not.

I don't think so. The Simpsons should stay as they are with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Santa's Little Helper, and Snowball II. Although if they were to have Marge give birth to a fourth, I'd still watch it.

It would be like replacing Maggie's role to the show.

Like Gil did to Lionel Hutz.

Before season 12 started there were rumours of an episode called "And Gerry Makes Four"

Those were some scary times. Not as scary as the actual season 12 though

it would just make Maggie's character weird I mean she's the cute lil baby who doesn't talk and take care of the baby role for the family, plus Maggie's like 1 or 2 in the show and never ages so how old would this baby be 6 months old forever?

Yes, and Homer should be allowed access to a time machine, and gary glitter should guest star, and marge should get a sex change.
No

of course not. Maggie is the baby. adding a fourth child would decrease viewership {which this past season was very bad for ratings} even more.

Oh dear god no. It would add nothing to the show, because they already have a cute li'l baby; the novelty-factor is nonexistent.

Um, no. Adding a new baby character this late in the show's run would be just silly, unless they do it in just one episode for a joke.

Not any worse than The Principal and the Pauper. It'd just be another, "this one's for you, NoHomers!" that they made just to fuel fan complaints and debates.

Not sure how a new baby would be any different than Maggie.

Yes,.. but make it a Russian orphan, and only as part of the storyline for a single episode.

Unless they use Jake's Maggie and Eric, no.
If they added a baby to the show, Maggie's role would be replaced and pretty much every new chapter would have to be about the baby, and that would suck.

If the Simpsons had another baby, the show might as well be cancelled right then and there.

I will, however, continue my constant fight for the long lost Roy to return and pay a visit to the Simpson family.

it would make no sense

Bart doesn't age, therefore keeping him from turning into ugly old greg brady and bringing in a simpsons equivalent of Cousin Oliver

Then it would be Homer and Marge + 4 --the premise of the show itself being about Homer and Marge having their own TV show following the kids and Homer and Marge in their fictional parallel universe (got me so far?). The series would work toward Homer and Marge breaking up in an imaginary world, divorcing and Homer going out with some blonde chica, and Marge being a bossy obsessive bitch. The characters who watched the show chronicling Homer and Marge would obsess over them. Fox Executive's post inspired me...

But seriously, this late in the show, with the horrible writing, and adding it to the beloved family that has been established for so many years? NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. Who are the six $%^$s who voted yes? * runs to look *
