So, what are your thoughts on this, Dungeonites?

Myself, I think that both sides are being too greedy in this situation; the voice actors are ungodly spoiled (their paycut will still leave them about $4.4 million each), but on the flipside, it's despicable that the bigwigs are insisting on paycuts so that THEY get a raise. This results in leaving nobody the victor in this spectacle in my opinion. This kinda mess is what happens when you don't let such a long-running show gracefully bow out when it has the chance.

UPDATE: Simpsons renewed for a 24th and 25th season.

eras are ending all over the place. it's like people know the world only has 14 months left so let's wrap up everything (Simpsons, Batman, Castlevania, etc.) I'm just being silly lol

But in all seriousness I grew up watching The Simpsons. I don't think the "new generation" episodes are as funny as the classics, but with new writers all the time things were bound to change.

It sucks that what it all comes down to is GREED & MONEY. Art gets ruined that way, and I can't say I feel sorry for the voice actors since they've been ridiculously rich since the 90's and they'll still receive checks from the reruns that'll continue to air for the next 10 years (if the Mayans were wrong, that is)

I heard about this yesterday.... I'm more on the side of the VA. I mean, they've been paid 8 mil, and you want them to do the same for 4 mil? That's like going to an employee and saying, you're doing all these other jobs as well but you aren't getting a raise. Or we are lowering your incom, but you will be expected to do the same.

But I find it hard to feel sad when they're still making millions.

I don't think it's such a big deal at all. Even if the VA get a cut from their pay, they're still making way more then enough to get by in life, unlike us who're actually working to survive  The Simpsons has been running on the air for some 20+ years. That's a long time for a cartoon sitcom so to me it really doesn't matter if the series ends. I'm still waiting for the Simpson kids to age for Christ sake! Now that's immortality. At least I can still watch Futurama.

UPDATE: Simpson's 24th season will be its last.

So sad to see one of TV's greatest juggernauts fall like this. Of course, with the way the show's been going since 2003, it kinda deserves it in my opinion.

Well, from what I'd heard the Simpsons had been on a decline anyways...I think the end was inevitable. I wonder who its successor will be...

[KaZudra]

ummmm WHAT?

That Piece of shit Family Guy is still airing.

Why not Simpsons?.....a good show?

[Abnormal Freak]

Last time I gave a shit about new episodes of The Simpsons was, oh...around 1997.

I haven't cared about animation on Fox since 2006. It's all about Adult Swim, now (except for that Seth McFarlane crap).

But man, when the Simpsons was good, it was...perfect.

Simpsons has been renewed for two more seasons. Make up your minds, dammit!

What the Hell was that?

The first time I saw this, I laughed in tears.

[Mooning Freddy]

I never really liked Simpsons. While I laughed at some episodes, others seemed far too childish. Since the series is intended "for the whole family" there are hardly any adult jokes.

But Family Guy, now that's a different story. I absoulutely LOVE IT, but the series is so f**ked-up and adult oriented I feel uncomfortable when my sister watches it with me.

South Park - What What What???

Everyone can watch the Simpsons, but adults get the most out of the humour. And I think that's the best thing about the Simpsons; it's not a kid show, but kids can watch it (and in the 90's, at least, they did). Something South Park or anything MacFarlane poops out of his brain have never been able to do.

I think Simpsons was brilliantly written back in the day. It was an honor for a celebrity to appear in it. They made fun of them, but they managed to do it without going nasty, yet still keeping the jokes sharp.

Family Guy Died when it was Canceled, when they brought it back it slowly turned into the complete shitfest it is today.
Note: Just because you change minor Details doesn't make it different, Seth MacFarline.
American Dad, Family Guy, and Cleveland show are the same shit.
