It’s official — the next season of The Simpsons will be its last. FOX executives released a statement saying that even if the voice cast agrees to take a massive 45% pay cut, the show will end after next season because it is no longer profitable as a first run-series. What a joke! The Simpsons is profitable! Frankly speaking, I think FOX just wants to keep their cast intact at a lower price. If anything, it’s the FOX executives that should be taking a pay cut! Ugh.
Bollocks.
Congratulations to FRINGE on receiving a Critics’ Choice Nomination for Best Drama Series, John Noble for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, and Anna Torv for Best Actress in a Drama Series!
My new favorite show - The Chicago Code. I’m now down for Fringe, Lie to Me and Chicago Code - all on Fox. I just hope they’re smart enough to promote these shows and put them in decent time slots.
“Fringe delivered a 1.9 rating in the coveted 18-to-49 demo, up 12 percent from its last Thursday outing and building slightly on its lead-in, Kitchen Nightmares. Overall, the spooktacular series — which this week guest-starred Back To The Future‘s Christopher Lloyd — drew 4.83 million total viewers.”
Sooooo… Shoshannah Stern is joining the cast of Lie to Me next season. I may or may not have had a crush on her when she was on Jericho.
