Will ‘The Simpsons’ End Over Contract Dispute?
While ‘The Simpson’ may still be popular after 23 seasons, a contract dispute threatens the future of television’s longest running prime time series.
According to the Daily Beast, 20th Century Fox Television, the production company of ’The Simpsons,’ offered an ultimatum to the cartoon’s six principal voice actors Monday night — accept a 45 percent pay cut or this season of the show will be its last.
“The Simpsons” Feeling Aftershocks from Japan Nuclear Crisis
A few episodes of "The Simpsons" have been pulled from syndication in Austria in light of the ongoing nuclear situation in Japan. And some other countries may follow suit.
Obviously, "The Simpsons" has made a LOT of nuclear references since Homer works at a nuclear plant . . . and you know, is somewhat lazy and incompetent.
The Austrian network dropped a 1992 episode titled "Marge Gets a Job" . . . and one from 2005 called "On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister." Those deal with radiation poisoning and nuclear meltdowns.
