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 (£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.

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.

I used to be a huge Simpsons fan, but now prefer American Dad, Family guy and South Park

The Simpsons Movie was rubbish too, it was just a really long episode IMO

I transferred a lot of my attention over to Archer and Ugly Americans :D
