Fox is demanding the voice actors all take a 45% pay cut. The actors have offered 39%.

That is some real hardball by Fox. Perhaps they wouldn't have to this if they hadn't wasted all that money on Terra Nova.

Have you watched it this season? They seem to have new writers and it has improved somewhat. Still, it is nothing like in its heyday.

Like all the good critics I don't need to watch it to know its crap

It would be sad to see it canceled but it's had it's time in the sun. Re-runs will be shown until the end of time, so it's got more than enough to keep it going. Bit like Friends which is timeless.

Not so sure about Friends. I liked it back in the day, but it's aged horribly.

Much like your face.

The first season wasn't that great.
Seasons 2-...about 7? are awesome.

You're an idiot. No offence, like.

Great show

Will remain great. Hasnt been another show like it.

South Park is pretty good but not as good. Same with Futurama

The rest, Family Guy etc are shite

Family Guy is awesome.

You just don't get it bruv. It's a niche kind of humour tbh.

Bob's Burgers is my favourite animated show at the moment. Funny shit.

Would be sad to see it go. I still like watching it, but mainly because it's familiar. Nothing will ever top seasons 2-10. I thought it died before 10, but I was wrong. 10 has "Lisa Gets an A" (Pinchy), Viva Ned Flanders, Homer to the Max and Lard of the Dance.

Who cares to be honest, Futurama is far more imaginative and Family Guy is much funnier.

Simpsons had it's day, about 20 years ago now.

You thoroughly enjoyed it around 1992/3?

It was still finding it's feet in 1991. That means you liked it before it became great?

It was simply untouchable from around 1992 - 1998 (Series 4 - Series 9).

I dont know what episode is in which season as im not that sad tbh but Simpsons is one of those programmes that whilst im not much of a regular watcher anymore, if i have f all to do and nothing good is on tv then Simpsons is always a time filler much like other timeless classics such as Friends, Fresh Prince etc
