Woo Hoo! Fox Orders Two More Seasons of The Simpsons

well I think numbers are important. show me real figures, past and future estimates, and then we can talk about whether or not this is fair.

Two seasons? Well at least they are coming up with a great conclusion for the grand finale after that.

Does anyone else remember that The Simpsons were on opposite The Cosby Show? Everyone thought it was television suicide...who's "haw hawing" now?

And just what would Fox replace The Simpsons with? Some lame piece of "reality TV' that'd barely last a season.

"The world may end in 2012, but this show won't"- Matt Groening

Just to give you a little hint on how long this show's been on; I was a fan of the Simpson's ever since it was an animated short that played on The Tracy Ullman Show and I was about 13 at the time. I'm 38 now.

Memo from the suits at Fox to the cast: "THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES".

Lisa turned 18 ten years ago... hahahahahaahaha and Maggie turned 18 four years ago... and Bart's in his 30s

No back end profits - DOH!

Wow, the network slams the writers' pay and they're supposed to remain upbeat and creative? Where's the motivation? I can see a pay cut if they would have gave them a little of the backend.

should make more movies.

They took away some of homers dough?.......Doh!!

I grew up on this show and will be sad when it goes.All good things must come to an end though i suppose.Thank you Simpsons for rekindling my childhood ever Sunday faithfully!! 'Cept when rassin frassin' football was on!! lol :)

Typical Corporate SOP-Need profits 'cuse we spent them when times waz good-So cut the $ to the talent or "workers" who generate the cash flow. I know these actors make big bucks but its again a corporate America standard operating proceedure.

20-25 years is amazing!

Its amazing this show has lasted this long when most shows dont make it past 3 seasons...

So are the executives in charge making this offer also taking a 45 percent pay cut? Just curious.

The Simpsons should have been cancelled years ago. The Cast is made up mostly of aged members from the old show "Herman's Head". And all that they do is voices. VOICES! Who can demand millions of dollars for freaking doing voices?

Besides, Family Guy has long since derailed the Simpsons, who are still stuck in the 90s.

fox was bluffing.

Yeah, theres three ways to look at it.

A. The big wigs are greeedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
B. The people who make the show should make more because of its monster profits.
C. People who play voices for a cartoon shouldn't complain at all when their salaries are ridiculous factoring in the work they actually do.

All 3 are right, so i fall in the it is what it is category.
