El Zorro de la Estrella Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 http://screenrant.co...ed-benm-134638/ Very interesting. How do people here feel about this? Is it time to pull the plug anyways on The Simpsons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Though the show definitely isn't as funny as it used to be, it is still one of the more-watchable items in FOX's broadcasting lineup. I really do hope that the actors and FOX can come to an agreement; cancellation shouldn't be considered IMO as FOX will be hard pressed to find a suitable replacement that will bring in just as much money!

CrypticQuery Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Agreed on all points Crazy [Thanks ] If The Simpsons is canceled, the only thing I'll be watching on FOX is this. Other than that, the SImpsons has ridiculous amounts of talent behind it; quite a few famous voice-actors continue to impress and make me laugh!

El Zorro de la Estrella Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Me, I love Seth McFarlane's shows; but The Simpsons, even though it has lost much of it's classic humor, is still a top cartoon that I'd miss on Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Inari Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I used to be a big fan of the Simpson, back in the 90's when everything was original. However, I do agree with the sentiment that the show has lost its edge and simply isn't as funny and entertaining as it used to be. While I'm ambivalent to the show at risk for cancellation, The Simpsons will be here to stay. The show is also a merchandise giant and a cultural icon and will be around for a long time after new episodes are stopped being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesseboyd7 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 http://nooooooooooooooo.com/ lol! I remember watching a few episodes for the moment years ago then it became more stupid in my opinion. But hey thats just me. And what happened to those good old fashions on which we used to rely? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. N Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Although I'm a die-hard Simpsons freak myself, I think it's for the best for the Simpsons to stop airing on Faux although they'll have a hard time getting viewers back on because most or at least some of their shows were crap or weren't funny at all. To me, I'd prefer a King of the Hill comeback than a Simpsons one. Also, if the Simpsons were going to be canceled, then a finale episode would be made...you know to thank you for watching the show for 20 years insted of canceling during an episode when the next part is badly needed. ('Who shot Mr. Burns?' for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fox Runner Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The show's been on for 23 seasons, the longest running sitcom on television. It will be a damned shame if they were to cancel it instead of giving it a proper sendoff as a final season like it deserves. Although, I can understand why it might be canceled, it isn't as funny as it used to be. I do think it's time the show ends, but not in cancellation, but as a proper series finale.

I compleley agree on all of the points you bring up SFR. Simpsons may not be all that funny anymore, but it deserves a proper send-off. And Mr. N? KING OF THE HILL FTW!!! That show was AWESOME! It's a shame it got cancelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygun81 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 'Would I lie to you?', 'Shooting Stars', 'Blackadder' and apparently a new series of 'Red Dwarf' coming up, I don't need the Simpsons :troll: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drasiana Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 They want to pay their voice actors a measly $4 million per episode instead of eight? That's inhumane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zorro de la Estrella Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 They want to pay their voice actors a measly $4 million per episode instead of eight? That's inhumane! I agree they are paid a ridiculous amount, but it's actually 8 mil per Season. The author clarifies that in the comments, but yeah, should've been more clear in the article itself. Honestly, I can see both sides of the argument, but they need to come to a real fair agreement which it doesn't look like they are willing to. I like the idea of the actors getting a cut of the profits, though Fox isn't willing to go for it (ATM). And they are paid a TON for the show, so I can see how Fox could want to cut that number down some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find it myself but my eyes are derping. If that's the case then he phrased this: Well, that and Fox wants to downgrade the cast members’ paychecks from $8 million a piece to $4 million a piece, and the cast members might not go for it. absolutely terribly ...$8 mil is still a pretty penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedFox8 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I swear. TV is getting worse and worse nowadays. What the hell happened to Cartoon Network? All of the good classic shows were taken off and really horrible random shows took their place. That caused me to lose faith in CN. The next generation will grow up without knowing the actual good classics :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 We still have Regular Show and Adventure Time. As well as stuff like the Venture Bros, but that's not for kids. Then again, neither is the Simpsons. Sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Orange Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Fox as canceled Family Guy TWICE and the public demanded it be brought back. Now if they go on with ending the Simpsons, that would be a HORRIBLE move on their part. How many people watch the simpsons? Millions? Remember Star Wars? They let George Lucas keep most the rights to the movie for they thought it was a failure. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well time will tell if popular demand has that kind of sway. With 23 seasons worth of episodes, there's plenty out there for syndication and rerunning. And don't forget the merchandise, that will always make money, new episodes or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
