That would be awesome. It would also be the day I stop watching Fox altogether.

If the VA's won't accept 45% pay cuts on Fox, what makes you think they would on Comedy Central?

Sorry to quote myself, but I made a mistake.

The other shows that debuted when Father Bush was President; America's Funniest Home Videos & Dateline NBC.

Dang bad news again this week, I think the voice actors should take pay cuts, I mean even with the taxes they still make probably at least 200k??? Ughh....

*CyberCubed* · 10-06-2011, 10:29 PM

We should know by tomorrow if the VA's accepted the 45% pay cut or not.

Real acting in front of a camera is way harder. On top of the stress put on your body to change and manipulate it to however it needs to look for the role you also have to be able to show genuine emotion in both your voice and face. This isn't to mention the ones who do their own stunts. Being under lights for 12+ hours a day isn't a treat either nor is shooting on location, especially in counties like Thailand. Downplaying an on screen actor to the level of a VA is insulting. I see an on screen actor deserving the pay they get more so then a VA.

If The Simpsons were to move to Comedy Central, that would mean that Groening would have two of his shows there: Futurama and The Simpsons.

Heck, I'll still watch FOX even if The Simpsons does get cancelled because I like Family Guy and want to see how Seth handles The Flintstones.

*CyberCubed* · 10-07-2011, 11:18 AM

It won't move to Comedy Central, at least not with new episodes.

*sdp* · 10-07-2011, 02:12 PM

I guess worst case scenario this still wouldn't rule out a second movie right? The series could still get a proper finale as a second movie and it's big enough of a franchise for it to happen, the first one did really well. I'd still prefer one final season with them knowing about it ahead of time, they could do so much. The Simpsons ending is bitter sweet, I'm glad that it's ending but it's still feels weird knowing there will be no new Simpsons. The show definitely had its downs but it's still a great franchise overall.

They'll never stop the Simpsons.

But season 24 might be the last.

Info here.

*Raph's Girl* · 10-07-2011, 08:35 PM

Aaaand the Simpsons is saved... meh. The actors agreed to whatever deal and signed on for 2 more seasons.

Hurray! Lol

*ZariusTwo* · 10-08-2011, 11:08 AM

All that time and money could go to a show that deserves it, but no, FOX keep the brain-dead dinosaur alive for two more years.

Yay America.

**Jester** · 10-08-2011, 11:22 AM

Yeah, Fox should cancel Family Guy already...
Wait...

*BubblyShell22* · 10-08-2011, 05:27 PM

No, don't cancel FG! I love that show. If you must cancel anything, how about that Gregory Allen show that's supposed to premiere? That show looks really stupid.

I'm glad the actors were able to negotiate and reach an agreement. I'd hate to think of the show being cancelled like that.

Family Guy hasn't been funny for years. It's pretty much only "clever" references and tearing people/things down for no discernible reason.

I watched one of the earliest episodes yesterday, and while still not very funny, was immensely better than the recent seasons.

I'm kinda concerned about that myself. I'm watching my DVD collection, on H in the movies...which is quite a way to go before the TV series. I'm wondering if I'll even find the old episodes funny, now that I'm so turned off to Family Guy now.

Edit: Or maybe it's all things MacFarlane. Have any of you seen The Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy? Biggest misname ever. Not funny, at all.
