Simpsons is not a good example here; THAT show doesn't exist to promote merchandise. As Jim Miller said, they'll keep making episodes as long as people keep watching. If viewership dips too low, the series could be either retooled (shorts, direct-to-DVD, etc.) or canceled.

But if that happens, Hasbro won't stop making merchandise for it. Just look at Littlest Pet Shop.
