Almost all of us hate to go to work. But not The Simpsons’ Nancy Cartwright. That is because as Bart Simpson, she is on her “way to burp and fart for a living.”
If that is what I did for a living, I also would have a bounce in my step and a smile on my face.
Why can’t we all have jobs like that? If we did, we would also stay at our jobs for 38 years and counting, instead of wanting out after 38 weeks.
The Simpsons has been on the air for so long that they just did a table read for their 800th episode!!!
Nancy Cartwright, who voiced Bart Simpson since day one, shared a video of her day on the Fox Lot. Along the way, she showed us how the animated sitcom has left its mark on Fox!
Back to the milestone episode. To give you a hint of how far in advance they record, this Sunday’s upcoming episode is 785. Therefore, we will not see 800 on our TV screens for about a year.
Congrats to everyone on The Simpsons for being the series that just won’t die! So much so that Fox recently picked it up for four more seasons.
Today was a very good day to be a long-running Fox animated show. That is because the network picked up The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, and Family Guy for four more years. Those three will be joined by American Dad, which is coming home after moving to TBS in 2014.
“This historic four-season order from our longtime partners at FOX is truly monumental for these iconic animated series. We are so proud that these legendary shows will continue for hundreds of more episodes, allowing new and longstanding fans to watch, rewatch and experience more of The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad and Bob’s Burgers for years to come,” said Marci Proietto, head of 20th Television Animation.
The four-year renewal means that The Simpsons will make it to its 40th season. It is the show that will never die. And that is a good thing.
Seth MacFarlane was just 16 years old when The Simpsons debuted. Now, the 51-year-old has two uncancelled shows airing alongside the GOAT! Pretty impressive!
Yesterday was the 35th anniversary of The Simpsons’ debut on Fox, so the network threw them a party!
And if you are going to have a party for a show, you need to invite the actors! So they did, and we got a photo of Nancy Cartwright and Yeardley Smith, or as you know them as Bart and Lisa Simpson, together. And that makes me as happy as when I watch a new episode of their animated sitcom.
I wonder if they ever thought they would still be playing elementary students when they were in their 60s,
