The most amazing thing about the Simpsons is that after 16 series, it's actually still funny :D Hope they get over the arguing and get on with it.

"Over the shark"???

You mean like "slightly less bouncing than an African spudgun"??

I think the phrase is 'Jumped the Shark' and refers to the Happy Days episode when the Fonz did just that. It basically means that the show is well past it but, and I must make this perfectly clear, The Simpsons has not gone past its best!

Never watched it so wont miss it.

On the other hand I'm aware that it seems to have done so much to enrich our culture, the much overused word DOH springs to mind.

What will Sky1 use to fill the gaps in their schedule?

OMG no! what are the kids going to watch now?

I wouldnt worry, its only a pay dispute isn it?
They seem to get enough, $33K per episode? Damn thats an awful lot.
Perhaps it should be made in India & they would only be paid $3 per episode.

Whingers!

Clock is right for me. Trouble is this thread is commenting on an article on another site, which was posted well before 12.00.

Damien 03-04-2004 16:28

Re: No!!! No no no no no no!!!!
 
A lot of people have said that the Simpsons have lost it and so on but I still think it is one of the greatest shows around. It might not be AS good as past ones but the past ones where excellent.

The Simpsons is only challenged by it-self!

At the moment it could last a few more seasons, but they might be able to pull something off to increase that such as more writers. Hopefully It will reach the 20 Season mark before it ends. I think 20 seasons would be a nice round number to end the simpsons on.

The Simpsons is basically a classic nothing compares to it. Its funny but also has depth, each character has depth and has been explored (even the side characters have had plots revolve around them). Great aniimation, characters, script, and vooice acting is what makes the simpsons one of the bbest programs ever. In 20 years time we will still remember it.

Kronas, if we are what we watch, or you wish to contribute violence / stupidity with what's seen on TV, would you care to explane that, by percentage, there were as many murderers, serial killers, rapists and paedophiles as there are now?

I apreciate that saying we may all become stupid and jaundice is meerly a humerous comment (which I enjoyed ;) ) the reference to drama's turning viewers into psycho's or sex attackers is a bit too 'mary whitehouse' for me.

Err, no link has been proved between sex & violence on TV and sex & violence in real life (let's face it, have you, or anyone you know, ever been tempted to hit someone just because they saw a person on TV do that?). Also, as Stu says, there was sex and violence around long before TV.

Anyway, I am sad to see the actors playing the characters on the simpsons go on strike, and hope they go back to work soon.

Russ 03-04-2004 23:56

Re: No!!! No no no no no no!!!!
 
So why have I never been driven to violence from watching tv? Why hasn't anyone in my family done so either? As Scastle says, there is no link which provesd TV alone causes it.

First of all my comment was meant as a joke. It is pretty obvious and you are guilty of being childish by making sweeping genalisations about cartoons and drama which you have done as well as trying to win a agurement by taking a quote out of context

i was suggesting it does affect people, i think it can 'trigger' people in to doing things they would not do, even those 'tendencies' you talk about.
