huzzah!

cancel The Simpsons and bring back Family Guy.

I'll believe it if the story's still up on April 2nd.

 

[NightCrawler]

Doh!

I don't think they can be replaced at this point there so embedded into the show. Other voice actors would be very weird.

 

[Pepsei]

I used to have this fantasy of Yeardly Smith..... until I found out that's really her voice.

 

[dethman]

they really should be making a LOT more money.

 

[TheToOTaLL]

Producers Twentieth Century Fox TV had hired casting directors to replace staff before a new deal was worked out and production resumed.

Sounds very fishy to me.....

 

[MacBaine]

Are people really this gullible? Jesus christ...

 

[Bassyhead]

sounds fishy

Maybe they'll outsource to India, and we can have a real Indian do the voice of Apu!

No they shouldn't. The simpson's heyday is over. The last few seasons have been terrible. The show should be canceled.

They should just replace the people writing the story

some jokes are just plain not funny...

 

[Mill]

CNN is getting pwned by google and the Simpsons.

 

[azazyel]

Actors wanting more money? How is that hard to believe.

Family Guy returns in 2005 I think.

Kinda makes you wonder just how much of the stuff on their site is real, fact checked stories, and how much is just rumours, conjecture, or even pranks

 

[Mermaidman]

Fire them! The Simpsons suck! I'd rather watch Scooby-Doo.

 

[dolph]

is it that hard to believe it might be real?
