Well, they spoke into a microphone and made millions laugh. Take it for what its worth. Which is apparently millions.
I still enjoy the show, but if it ended there are enough reruns to enjoy it another 20 years. For many young adult's lives, the Simpsons has always been around. Might be odd having that gap during Sunday night. I'm sure Seth MacFarlane can add another profiled family comedy in there somewhere!

Its funny how we see Socialism as something that is negative in our society. We are socialized to believe the rich deserve what they have and the amount of money they are able to generate. This is told to us because they don't want us to get upset at the massive wealth people have while more and more people are in low income bracket. Really how much money does one really need? how many homes and cars and jets and boats do you need?
its funny how when we help the rich stay afloat its called bailout, but heaven forbid we help the average family keep their home, oh but I forgot that is called Socialism. Sure seems fine to do it for the rich on Wall street and banks.
Capitalism & free market wanted less government and regulations, but where did the greed get us? We now have millions out of work and the world economy is in the shit hole.
But Media will keep blasting the evils of Socialism, because they don't want to pay for anything to help out society. Look at the tax bracket they are paying one of the lowest % of their earnings.
Keep this all in mind when you say Socialism is so evil.
Do it. Do it FOX. Cancel the Simpsons. Cancel one of your last good shows. Cancel the show that brings in most of your ratings. Show us all how monumentally STUPID you lot truly are! DO IT!
I think this is a good time to end the Simpson's. They've been around a long time and had their time.
No body watching MASH back in the day wanted it to end. But the show was scraping the barrel by there 200th something episode. All good things must come to an end you know.

Don't take the cut Simpsons. Fox needs you and will fold. And on the off chance they don't? Your name is so valuable that any other network would gladly pick you up.
I would only be fine with this if the show gets the Biggest finale in television history.
Come on Fox, You heartlessly killed Married..with children without a send off, you kept trying to hold back Arrested Development. At least you gave a great show like Family Guy a second chance...Only for it to become the Worst show on television with pointless, awful spin-offs.
Either keep the show going or let it die in a blaze of glory.

Yeah I never said socialism was evil. Nor was it implied. Funny how when we help the poor it's called "Welfare".Corran006 said:
The point is, they earned what they made. Which what can you say for those that don't? Sorry speaking into a mic is worth more than a doctor or a teacher.
If the teacher taught millions or the doctor was in the public eye. I'm sure they'd be wealthy too.
And I say "Wealthy" when I say that too. I'm not rich, I don't want anyone's money I didn't earn and if I was wealthy, I'd probably want to use it on my own accord. Not have it dictated for me. If you do, then great. I hope you live where that's true.
So... just over $4 million a year? So what? You're all still stinking rich! take it or leave it, people. The Simpsons has to die sooner or later, and I would take my reduced-yet-still-ridiculous salary. Milk it while it lasts!
Wait, they get payed 8 million a year? 45% would still leave at least 4 million. I'd happily stay on for 4 million a year, rather than try to find another job.
But what about Chief Wiggum, Moe, Comic Book Guy, Carl Carlson, Cletus, Professor Frink, Dr Nick, Snake, Disco Stu, Kirk Van Houten, and my personal fave, Duffman? All those (and more!) voiced by Hank Azaria. Then there's the crapload of voices that Harry Shearer and Dan Castellanetta do.... although, if someone can do a good enough impression (for cheap) Fox might take them up on the offer.Micalas said:I can do a perfect Apu. I'll do the entire season for $50,000.smudgey said:
The fuck is this, CAPTCHA?
And yeah, that's a bloody weird captcha. How do you spell that, exactly?
So I guess they need the money to pay for that giant turd of a show called Terra Nova. I mean sure lets force the Simpsons to pay for that huge failure. Way to go Fox executives. Are these the same retarded executives that canceled Futurama?
