The Simpsons renewed

Fox says it's renewing "The Simpsons" for another two seasons, which will secure its place as TV's longest-running prime-time series.

Now in its 20th season, "The Simpsons" already had tied record-holder "Gunsmoke." The Western drama series aired for two decades on CBS before it ended in 1975.

"The Simpsons" will pass that mark next season. The two-year, 44-episode pickup announced Thursday by Fox will bring the total number of "Simpsons" episodes to 493.

The animated comedy about Homer and Marge Simpson, their children and the town of Springfield is not only enduring but much-honored: It's received a Peabody and 24 Emmys among other awards.
:sleep: :dead:

They also jacked the cast's pay up to $400,000 an episode. This is what kills all mega-popular TV shows. I give it four more years at best before Fox pulls the plug because the show gets too expensive to produce.

This isnt a series, it's Euro Disney

OH SNAP! Somebody made a Simpsons thread, so now Zarius has to make sure everybody understands just how bad it is. Oh grow the hell up. Some people actually still enjoy it.

I guess this goes three pages before the nasty PM's begins.

Free country pal. Until you make a rule about NOT burying this peice of s*it, you can't really touch me where that's concerned.

Ah, but nice to see how you really feel about me.

Whatever floats your boat.

Remember the time when someone made a Simpsons thread, and then people commented how the show has jumped the shark?

I'll give Simpsons credit for staying funnier longer than Family Guy did.

Good to hear, I love the Simpsons. Yeah definitly needs to be another movie, just with a slighty better plot. First was ok but ehh, at least it was still funny.

FLAduranie 02-27-2009 08:27 PM
I haven't watched the Simpsons in YEARS. Just to boring for me to sit through. I'm glad they still have fans that will get to enjoy it for a few more years.

Do people actually still watch the simpsons? I don't know anybody who's watched a new episode in years.

Ginny 02-28-2009 03:02 PM
I am so happy to hear that The Simpsons will be around for a couple years longer. I'll admit, the past few seasons have had some very weak episodes, but the show is still pretty fresh when you consider how long it has been on.

Another.... movie.


Please?

Would they bother renewing it if it wasn't successful enough to warrant it? People still watch it... I still do, since I'm a loyalist, even though I think the writers need to stop treating it as a career stop so they have something high profile to put on their resumes before they start making terrible sitcoms and Porky's clone movies. And... of course, no more high brow architects, writers, musicians, and artists that only the writers know and care about stopping in to say "D'oh."

Man, I miss people like Jon Lovitz and Albert Brooks coming in and playing characters... and not celebs coming in and saying "I was on the Simpsons! I made it!"

Though for the trillionth time, I wanna see another movie. Doraemon has one a year, for crying out loud. You can certainly have 2.

When has Family Guy ever been funny?

Before they brought it back... that's for sure.

ThirdMarioBro 03-01-2009 10:54 PM
I guess it just shows that all humor is subjective because I find both funny as hell.
