The Simpsons (Fox) TV Show • Page 25

Hey man no one said his home planet wasn't alien heaven!

I intentionally included Poochie in that post, knowing it was inaccurate. I shouldve said all those deceased/killed off characters are on Poochie's planet, including Apu now. That sounds way more plausible!

 

There's no Futurama thread so these are going here:

 

These are incredible

 

I'm reading Springfield Confidential now. It's entertaining and there's some great facts, but I don't really like Mike Reiss

 

Anytime this thread is bumped I’m just hoping they finally cancel this show

 

"Have no fears, we've got stories for years"

 

i cant pretend like i really watch the new episodes very often but i will still have an emotional breakdown on the series finale one day

 

Oh yeah, gave up a few years ago, but still ready to tear up

 

The best way to end it would just be fully recreating the first episode.

 

I like Conan's idea too

Morgan Spurlock: If you had to write, uh, the ending of The Simpsons, how would it end?

Conan O'Brien: Marge is gonna take a good, hard look at Homer and say he's so stupid and he's screwed us over so many times. It'll be humorless. It won't be funny. It'll just be her looking at Homer and saying, "You are such a stupid son of a bitch. I, you're endangering my children. You've destroyed the town 600,000 times. You're, you, you're a threat to mankind. I'm leaving you. I'm leaving you forever."

 

Sounds like a laugh riot.

 

Not sure if theyve done this yet but I would do either barts 11th birthday or lisas 9th birthday or Maggie's 2nd birthday as a finale.

I always thought the show should end with everyone finally aging one year

 

Sources with knowledge of negotiations tell Variety that [Fox Broadcasting Co.] and studio 20th Century Fox Television are near completion of a deal to renew The Simpsons for a 31st and 32nd season. The terms of the agreement, which includes a licensing fee that’s slightly reduced from what the network paid under the last renewal, reflect the reality of the shifting economics around the show.)

There’s a full breakdown on the “shifting economics” here, but basically, The Simpsons is a “loss leader” for the Fox Broadcasting Company, but the show does well for 20th Century Fox Television, which is about to be owned by Disney. That makes things, from syndication rights to streaming deals, very complicated, “If The Simpsons were to end its run on Fox with its 32nd season, that would free Disney to negotiate a new deal or deals covering broadcast, cable, and streaming that would potentially dwarf the $750 million paid by FX,” Variety reports. Disney may also choose to end the show, but The Simpsons is an institution; it looks good in the company’s portfolio, alongside Marvel and Pixar. Or as media consulate Brad Adgate put it, “When the show ends, I would think that it will be because the creators of the show and the producers don’t want to do it anymore, not because two media conglomerates got together.”

 

wow

 

Have no fear, they got stories for years

 

Renewed for 31 & 32

 

I totally read that in that flat voice that the real people that aren't actors always use on this show

 

How come on Frinkiac it's only giving you Futurama screen grabs?

 

The Megan Amram episode was legitimately good and maybe the most I've liked a non golden era episode. The writing and jokes were just so consistent, no major swings or gimmicks, just solid all through.

 

I loved how she put her own spin on it, Sideshow Leonard Cohen killed me
