Hank Azaria took the Twitter today begging people to watch his show by saying, “Okay it’s do or die time for my show Free Agents– we need eyeballs tonight at 8:30 on NBC!! Watch tonight or we may go away…” Well Hank, I love you, but unless you take that pay cut for The Simpsons thus keeping that show on the air, I have no intention of keeping your other one on!
And that goes to all the other greedy bastards on The Simpson who refuse to a make a few million dollars less in these tough economic times. You also make residuals off the show and all you do is sit in a room and talk into a mic. How many other actors are grateful to be working for just $250 a day (if they are lucky enough to) and you are complaining about an extra few million dollars? Do you realize how disgusting that sounds? I’m sorry, but none of them are worth it. I have heard enough people impersonate those characters voices that I don’t understand why they just don’t replace them with those other voices. It’s not like we will know the difference! Sorry it makes me sick that in these times when people are struggling to put food on the table this money grubbing group are not willing to take a pay cut. Really what do you with with all those millions of dollars? How many of those actors give any of it to charity? I mean they might, but I have not heard any big donations from any of them, have you? Sorry don’t mean to rant, but I did!!!
The Simpsons is in its 23rd season and the show still makes me laugh! On Sunday’s (yes I am behind on my viewing) Superintendent Chalmers was in charge of The Breakfast Club and he went into the wrong room. That brilliant little flashback gives new meaning to “Just me. Just you and me. Two hits. Me hitting you. You hitting the floor. Anytime you’re ready, pal” and I am OK with that! C’mon admit you can’t stop watching it, just like you can’t watch stop watching the coming of age John Hughes movie we all aspired to be at least one of the characters! Who did you want to be?
Yesterday Katy Perry was a guest star on The Simpsons and she appeared as her human self and not an animated version on the longest running scripted show in TV history. It was also one of the few times The Simpsons were not animated on the show, but appeared as puppets. After seeing them as puppets, I would love to see a whole episode of them like that.
BTW make sure to watch that clip all the way until the end because Moe kissed a part of Katy Perry and she liked it! I am shocked they actually got away with that and the censors didn’t try to stop it. Take that Sesame Street!!!
Back on April 19, 1987 when The Simpsons made there debut as a skit on The Tracey Ullman Show on Fox, I am sure that not one single person there thought that it would not only turn into a show, but it would still be on the air today? I am sure Fox never thought it, even though they announced today they just picked up the longest running comedy for a 23rd season bringing their total episodes to an amazing 515 episodes. Here is what EP Al Jean had to say about the great news, “Like many 22-year-olds, THE SIMPSONS is extremely happy remaining at home, on FOX, and hopes it doesn’t have to go out into the real world for many years to come.†For some reason and the rate it is going, I think the show will be on the air until it reaches the year that Futurama is set in!!!
Even though Halloween was a week ago, you can celebrate it all over again tonight on Fox starting at 8p! So grab your leftover candy and watch as The Simpsons, The Cleveland Show, Family Guy and American Dad give us a treat of tricks!
The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror XXI is just as good as all the other ones. This year they take on The Office and Twilight with Hugh Laurie and Daniel Radcliffe and they take it to a place that no one has ever seen. So tune into an animated night of horrors, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
