Simpsons cast on Strike?
I've been hearing that on many news forums and it MIGHT be true, then agian this IS April Fool's day...we'll have to see.
Still, this is great news if it's true, considering the Simpsons has been s*it for years now, and this strike could finally be the signal Fox needs to know this show needs to die |

If it's a joke, it's quite dumb. That show should have been over many years ago. But if it's true, FOX will pay them, no doubt about it. They'll do anything to run a successful series into the ground. And if they can't, they'll do anything to ruin and cancel the series prematurely - just take a look at Family Guy.

I thought Family Guy was canceled because they went too far with the racist jokes...
Then again I could be wrong...

The Simpsons may not be as funny as it used to be, but it's still funnier than Family Guy. Which is saying alot, because Family Guy owns.

Whoever says Simpsons is funnier than Family Guy does not have my respect.
 Seasons 3 up until about 7 may have been on par, but I couldn't even be bothered to watch the new stuff. It's just NOT funny. At all.

I like all seasons, old or new. The show has been a favorite to millions of people. No other prime time show can beat them. Probably the only show I watch on Primetime Fox.
I have the first 3 seasons on DVD, and I'm waiting for Season 4 to come out later this year.

I remember this happening before. Fox was rumored to be training new voice actors.
Sigh...sad, really...

To me, Family Guy and the Simpsons have two different types of humour.
The Simpsons is all about family humour, meanwhile Family Guy is all about shock humour. The only reason Family Guy got canned is because FOX was screwing them over by moving the show are without telling anyone. Thank god that it's coming back. |

I don't know why people constantly have to argue if Simpsons or Family Guy is funnier, or whatever. Personally I think Futurama had them both beat... until it got canned.

I wish the Simpsons got cancelled finally, they've been crappy for like five years now.
Geez, how much I loved the old seasons...

Anyway, I still like the Simpsons. It's not as funny as it once was, but it's still one of the better shows on TV. Alot better then some of the crap that makes it's way onto the air. I hope they settle this dispute quickly. |

I saw this on E! yesterday, so barring an April Fool's Day joke, it's probably not a rumor. I agree that the past season or two has been really weak, but I'm loyal, I'll keep watching til the end.

Family Guy is coming back... due to the sales of the DVD's and ratings of reruns on Adult Swim... If I can remember all the details, i'd post them... but it will probably be only on Cartoon Network for a while.
As for the Simpsons, I like the show, but I have to agree with Zarius... it's been bad lately... it's getting better, but still bad! I watch every episode, and I am a loyal fan, but if anything, the writers need to go on strike, and be replaced. I'd like to hear them right now... "If you don't give us such and such amount of money now, you can say goodbye to random 80's refferences, making fun of other people's cultures, and Homer Simpson in fifty different jobs per week!" It reminds me of the old episode "The Front." In that episode, the son of the Itchy and Scrathy creator fired his college educated (Harvard) writing staff because they wrote lord awful episodes.... maybe the creators need to take a cue from their own show. I love the show, and all... but the writers need to be thrown out on their ears, and write for the 90000 unfunny midseason replacement sitcoms on all the channels. Get the old writers back!
