SIMPSONS Cast Signed For 4 More Years

That's a crazy amount of money for people who just do voice overs. What do they work, like half an hour or so a day each to record their own dialogue? Maybe an hour?

Don't get me wrong, they deserve it 'cause I worship the Simpsons. But the show is awfully long in the tooth these days and needs a breather.

Don't have a cashcow man!

No way it's going to be canceled. It's a flag show for the network. Even if the ratings did bomb.

Before the dawn of series DVDs I'd say it was too much but now that studios can make money both on advertisements while the show airs both during the initial runs, reruns, and syndication and now from DVD sales the actors should get more. They deserve it. It's like if you wrote a series of short chapter stories in a magazine and later they decided to compile the whole series into a novel and sell it that way. You should get money for the novel too.

Although, on the other hand, I heard Cameron Diaz got like $500, 000 dollars, or was it 5 million, or 50 million or more for forty five minutes of work doing the voice of Fiona on Shrek. Now, to me that's crazy. And no, it's not the same thing.

Holy crap! I can't believe this show (even though I love it) has been on this long, and now they're signed for another 4 years? Yow!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU JEBUS!!!!!!!!
I still love Simpsons, laugh at them every week.

Yep... they killed Futurama but kept the Simpsons for a almost a quarter century. At least Family Guy was resurrected (yes, I like Simpsons nemesis).

Don't get me wrong, I watch the Simpsons since they were shorts on the Tracy Ullman show (I was a strange kid), I memorized all the dialoge of the first 5 seasons, and I even cried when Selma sang to her iguana... but it's time to let them go. It's been legally brain-dead for a while... Where is Dr. Klevorkian when you need him!!!!
