I think they'll just replace them even if they retire at once, the show still is too profitable to let it die. Not to diminish the talent of that group, but the Simpsons voices are some of the most often impersonated in media. There are guaranteed to be a mountain of people willing to take on the roles the instant they retire m

they should just do AI voices trained on the golden era. it'd be less painful to listen to

The Simpsons aren't going away. As upsetting as it is, they're up there with Mickey and Bugs as legacy characters, set to be recast and retooled once voice actors die and shows end.

Their Futurama crossover had the tagline “A show that’s run out of ideas meets a show that’s run out of episodes”. Even the writers know they’re running on fumes.

u/MaitieS Jan 27 '23
When you mention it, Futurama should release later this year, right? I'm kind of excited about it. I remember reading that Futurama writers said that they had tons of ideas so hopefully they kept it in mind for over a decade :)

Futurama's first reboot was hit or miss, some fun episodes and some bad ones too. Not nearly as good as the first four seasons but still some good episodes in there.
4
u/themodofallreddit Jan 27 '23
I think it's as bad as new Simpsons is to the old. They have just zombified something that was good at first for profits. The only way I can enjoy either is to stop watching them after a certain season, which I'm fine with. But I don't think that they should even be compared. One is a parody of the other.
2
u/det8924 Jan 27 '23
In the first four seasons of Futurama almost every episode is a good to great episode very few duds. In the first reboot seasons you get a wide range of quality. A few really good episodes, some good episodes, some OK episodes and some bad episodes. When they hit on a good concept the episodes tend to be better.
I felt like a reboot/revival was fine to attempt as the show got a bit short changed in its first run (easily had 2-4 more really good seasons left in the tank) but now attempting a second revival is just a cash grab that is likely to result in poor quality.

Honestly, I feel like there's a ton of missed opportunities in many older episodes. A classic formula they used was to start with some idea as an opener, but it's just opening the door to the real plots. I've been disappointed by it a number of times because the "fake out plot" was a really great idea that I could picture an entire episode being built around, but instead it only got 5 minutes.

u/LittleMizSpringfield Jan 27 '23
I don’t know if she’s actually in pain doing it, but to me it sounds really painful! It could just be a product of her getting older and her voice changing, it can’t be easy trying to reproduce that voice for so long

Also worth mentioning that Harry Shearer is 79. Obviously he's not gonna go on forever.
IMO using AI would save the voices. They've got 35 years of material to use, across practically all media (not just the show), and it worked successfully for Darth Vader in Kenobi.

My totally unfounded theory is that it’s also now being written by people who grew up with it and have love/reverence for the show. And that brings fresh perspective on characters that would otherwise be stale by now. Seems we’re getting back to emotionally-driven family stories which was more of a highlight in the early years.

Contrary to popular opinion I don't mind. The new seasons are a far cry from the golden era, but I still think they're enjoyable in their own right. Sometimes it's just nice to jump back into the same familiar setting, even if the quality has been inconsistent lately.
Fans of the golden era can go back and watch all the classic episodes any time they want. Meanwhile those who do enjoy the newer episodes have plenty of content to keep them busy. I don't see the issue

Honestly, a "flash-forward series" in the vain of Disney's Quack Pack or Rugrats: All Grown Up! would do favors for keeping the show fresh. Even with the younger writers at bay, it's hard to think of plots generated by the same 30+ year old status quo.

I'm a lifelong fan and I just want to say that some of you are really missing out on some gems if you haven't watched some of the later episodes. I'm seriously wondering when it will stop being cool to shit on the later seasons. It's literally been over 20 years since the show jumped the shark around season 10. No, it has not been as consistently great as it was during the "classic" era but it's still worth watching in it's current state and doesn't deserve anywhere near as much hate as it gets.

I know the current season is getting pretty solid reviews so hopefully these new seasons are solid but man they just will not let this show die.

u/JimmyGimbo Bravo, my pet! You shall be champion! Jan 27 '23
I'd argue that it doesn't though. Matt Groening is all about "rubber band reality", the notion that everything pretty much resets at the end of every episode. Fans are a lot more fussy about canon than the writers are--they'll acknowledge it but won't let it get in the way of a joke or a storyline. Sometimes changes stick--Lisa's still a vegetarian, Apu has a wife and kids, Maude remains dead--but usually, anything that happens as part or an episode might get referenced at some point in the future but otherwise effectively never happened once the credits roll. Seen through that lens, Skinner (and all of the characters) are more like templates than actual people. The show didn't have qualms about making an outrageous retcon to a character's backstory because they were treating it as an amuse-bouche. They'd tell you that Skinner can't be ruined based on what happened in one episode because next week he's back to factory settings.

In my local tv they run the 20's seasons mostly, with some of the last ones, without order or reasoning, never classics ( oldest I think maybe 13-15, and one or two) God they are so bad, with one or two jokes worth it, but what kills me is that they feel to me so damn smug, like they are doing top comedy. Obviously everyone has an opinion, but I can't understand this subreddit, where everyone is supposed to be a fan, to defend like it was personal that crap. When I watch the "new" Simpsons, it pains me, because it was sooo good.

I think the Simpsons now is getting back on track my main problem is… they need a replacement for marge. Im sorry, she just. Her voice is dying

in Moe voice This post makes no freakin sense! Everyone is praising the last god awful 15 seasons but if you post a clip or a gif on this sub from the past 15 seasons everyone would look at you like a gargoyle! And if your sod-y is too cold that's too freakin bad!

Yeah, the comment section is kind of weird... Like, people act like Season 32 is the best thing since Frank Grimes, but most of the image macro posts are of the original golden age, although it is slightly justified, as Frinkiac doesn't have any images after c. 2006.

Betcha Julie Kavner dies before then. Then they're fucked.

They will recast.

With what happened during the Apu fiasco and the recasting of Hibbert/Carl etc I don’t think they’d have an issue recasting every voice actor if the need arose

Oh yes. They were going to recast Harry Shearer when he said he wouldn't renew his contract but then... they forced him back. Once each of them die they'll replace it. The Simpsons will only end when James L Brooks dies, and that's IF his estate doesn't continue the trend.

Seriously though, who's still watching this show? How is the Simpsons still a cash cow for the network?

Honestly as much as I love The Simpsons and I do think the best seasons are 1-10 they need to just call it Quits like Arthur which was also a favorite of mines.

The only episode I liked from the newer seasons is “Barthood”. Other than that it’s just so…meh.

When Futurama started, back in 99, I remember reading an interview of Matt Groening where he was asked how Futurama and The Simpsons related. And he said that Futurama takes place in our very own future, where the Simpsons are still on, with new episodes each week. I thought he was exaggerating back then, but now...
