The end for The Simpsons?

Quote:

US TV network Fox has said it can no longer afford to produce long-running animated comedy The Simpsons without a pay cut for its cast.

In a statement, it said although the series "can and should continue", it could not produce future seasons "under its current financial model".

Fox made the comment after reports it threatened to end the series unless its voice actors took a 45% pay cut.

The cast reportedly earn $8m (Â£5.2m) each per series.

US news website The Daily Beast reported that the principal voice cast members, including Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright and Yeardley Smith, were having difficulty agreeing contracts for the next series.

Re: The end for The Simpsons?

Yes I do, and they are really funny. Simpsons has totally run out of steam and now just trys to copy the style of Family Guy but it doesn't work.

I am not a liar, I've even seen the new episode from the USA this week and it was terrible.

I thought the Chalmers episode was quite good.. I will though admit that good Simpsons episodes are now getting few and far between so wouldn't truly miss it

I can say that because it is my opinion and I think it's gone downhill after so so many series.

No it hasn't.

Re: The end for The Simpsons?

The main advantage that Family Guy, Cleveland Show and American Dad has is the way it can cross story lines.. Just take last Sundays hurricane Flozzel :rofl:

What day mean by cross story lines???

Re: The end for The Simpsons?

Characters and events that happen between all the series. For example the hurricane caused problems for all 3 shows, I believe. Also the characters regularly appear in each of the series.
