The Simpsons to kill off one of their main characters this season

Uter being alive was the biggest retcon ever

We thought the revoutionary re-enactment soldiers killed him

I thought the Simpsons premiere (w/Krusty etc) was pretty good. It’s not an all-timer, but that’s too much to ask at this point. As someone who hasn’t been a regular watcher for a real long time, it was better than I was expecting.

Didn’t see Family Guy crossover.

wtf

Good to see he hasn’t lost his touch of weirding me out.

So the Futurama crossover is tonight :planetexpresscoffee:

The Simpsons intro that was made by the guy who created Ren and Stimpy scared the shit outta me.

Futurama crossover wasn’t too bad. Fuck you for including Seymour :frowning:

Wow that is sad, deep, and unsettling.

Well…Harry Shearer quit The Simpsons.

Just kill it off already! at this point they’re beyond beating a dead horse…this is now beating it as it’s dragged by a car driven by FOX

The end of this sums it up

I figured Shearer would tap out soon. He was having physical trouble doing some of the voices recently. It’s one of the reasons you didn’t see characters like Mr Burns as often anymore.

Brace yourself for an incoming massacre.

Relevant to Shearer’s departure

Didnt Shearer do like 90% of the voices on the Simpsons?

Wonder if Fox already got people who can do good impersonations of the voices.

Simpsons still putting on quality episodes.

You’re fault for missing out

Shearer did a chunk of them, but so did Castellaneta and Azaria (who do the more important ones). The core family is still doing the show, so you would just see less of Kent Brockman, Skinner, Mr Burns, and a few other’s. Whenever those characters would be required for roles, it would like be small roles, and they can easily find somebody who sounds like Shearer’s characters to read lines.

I bet they’d hire multiple people to do the different characters.

I am sure jasper, burns, otto would be the same

Hibert, black judge, skinner, rev lovejoy, might be the same

Flanders…

Damn i got sadder the more characters i listed

It’s not the voice being copied as a problem. It’s with how those characters all were different people and had idioms. The way schearer carried a smithers scene vs a skinner scene.

Can you name some episodes worth checking out. I stopped after that season with the Mapple Store.

Anything past 4 seasons really
