tup Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The only Simpson I've any time for is Neil It's a cartoon for bairns FFS, how in the fuck are they getting paid so much for that drivel? Link to comment
diamondsr4ever Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Greedy cunts $400k PER EPISODE!! All they do is sit infront of a mic and speak for a few hours... worldwide audience, it makes billions Link to comment
The Boofon Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 worldwide audience, it makes billions Surely someone else can do the voices though? It's not as if the wifie who does Bart is the only person in the world who can do that voice. Rory Bremner would do it for half the price and be just as good I bet. Alistair McGowan wouldn't.

StandFree1982 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 worldwide audience, it makes billionsIn a statement, it said although the series "can and should continue", it could not produce future seasons "under its current financial model". Doesnt sound sustainable. A few of them have other careers, but some you never hear of outside of The Simpsons. Link to comment
tup Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 It's shite anyway so I'd just tell them to ram their demands, it's run it's course ages ago, it was mildly entertaining for about 10 minutes of the first episode to be fair to them, but every dog has it's day, same as South Park, yank drivel.

360 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Should have ended it after season 9, it turned shite after that. Before that, the best series ever. Link to comment
Pash Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Surely someone else can do the voices though? It's not as if the wifie who does Bart is the only person in the world who can do that voice. Rory Bremner would do it for half the price and be just as good I bet. Alistair McGowan wouldn't. The wiffie that does Barts voice also does a heap of other voices too. I think the whole cast do numerous voices. What they are demanding is still a bloody joke though. I would do Maggie's voice for Link to comment

Big Man Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The simpsons is sh*t - it has been for a long time. Its painful to watch a show i once loved so dearly die a slow, ignominious death at the hands of a bunch of greedy cunts who have dragged the absolute arse out of it in the name of making money. The show is no longer socially or culturally relevant, its a relic of the 90's/early 2000's. Hopefully this will act as a catalsyt for what matt groening was never man enough to do - quit it!.

OddJob Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Haven't watched The Simpsons for a few years now, Family Guy is so much funnier. Link to comment

I've no idea what a lot of the others are doing, not that they aren't set up for life with a 400k an episode job! Link to comment
phoenix Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 It was remarkable( for me ) in that it was so consistently good for so long , 20 years and a great team of script writers , of whom there were reputedly upwards of 400. I guess many of the originals are no longer there or are getting on a bit because the quality has dipped. The voiceover people are good but should recognise that the show is probably past it's best before date. Matt Groening's favourite album is Captain Beefheart's 'Trout Mask Replica'. Link to comment
