Way to bend over for one fucking crybaby you pussy. From Colbert last night .


i’ve given this a lot of thought, really a lot of thought and as I say my eyes have been opened. And I think the most important thing is that we have to listen to South Asian people, to Indian people When they talk about what they feel and how they think about this character and what their American experience of it has been . And as you know, in television terms listening to voices means inclusion in the writers room . I really want to see Indian , south Asian writers in the room, not in a token way but genuinely informing whatever new direction this character may take including how it is voiced or not voiced . I’m perfectly willing and happy to step aside or help transition it into something new . I really hope that’s what the Simpsons does and that it just not only makes sense, but that it’s the right thing to do

I thought that show was done about seven years ago.

As someone who watched, re-watched, re-watched again, and fully internalized the first nine or ten years of The Simpsons, watching the new episodes with the computer animation, fatigued voices, and characters looking at facebook on their iPhones is so weird. I wish it had ended seven years ago. Or seventeen.

False, it's been done since 1998 or 1999. It's just that no one ever told them.

Last good episode might have been the one with Johnny Cash

or thereabouts

Seasons 2-8 I think I know verbatim

"That's it, Frank, keep up the chatter!"

Principal and the Pauper was the beginning of the end. I'd say they were OK (not great) in seasons 9-10, but then afterwards... bleh

The corporate-voice chick was a harbinger of bad times......soon as she came on, the show sucked

i never had a huge problem with "principal and the pauper". i agreed with the episode writer's take on it, ken keeler: "a community of people who like things just the way they are got mad. It never seems to have occurred to anyone that this episode is about the people who hate it."

Season 8 was the last great one, Season 12 was the last good one. I don't think there are any good episodes after the Run Lola Run one.

I promise not to protest if they replace Apu with a polish cleaning lady.

Will this lead to Apu getting a spin off? The story lines are endless! I'm already typing this with an Indian accent in my head.

Your his agent. What would you advise him to do?

End the show 10 years ago.

And lose 10 years worth of paychecks for a super cushy voice over job?

You're fired.
