Random TV that do not need their own threads...

I take it by Harry Shearer's statement that The Simpsons is done.

Not quite. Shearer's statement was more of a general acknowledgement of the issue to the public. Groening, Brooks and Simon are the ones that will deliver the news.

So it's basically going to be what happened to Elvis, Michael Jackson, etc. The show is over in May and suddenly everyone chooses to remember and immortalize only the hey-day and not acknowledge what shit the show in the last decade.

And extended for a 24th and 25th season. Like anyone was surprised.

FOX needs to admit what caused this and they need to follow through with their plans regarding Terra Nova.

Cut to Fall 2013 and this shit happens once again...

How much of a draw are the Simpsons these days anyway?

I don't think I've sat down to watch an episode since I was in high school.

I think they still get pretty good ratings, especially being lead in for all the shitty McFarlane cartoons. Plus, syndication money baby!

Did anyone else watch FX' American Horror Story? It's got a few tired horror memes in it (retarded kid in touch w/ the supernatural, for one), but shows some promise. I'll set the DVR to record series until further notice. Any thoughts?

Ryan Murphy burnt his good graces with me halfway through Nip/Tuck. No offense Iggy, but this looks like one huge pile of shit. OH SPOOKY THE GHOST MASTURBATES wtf?

The Simpsons bounces up and down in the ratings, but they general serve as the upper to midpoint of Sunday night. The only shows that beat them are Football, Amazing Race and sometimes Family Guy.

I saw the uncut pilot and a 15 minute breakdown of the rest of the season. I know they trimmed a lot to get it ready for broadcast, so I'll need to see the broadcast version sometime soon.

That is quite astounding.

Well, they've had repeats beat Cleveland and American Dad. People like to shit on them, but they have an established demo and key fanbase. The kind of materials that other shows kill for.

WUT WUT WAT?

Caught about 15 minutes of Terra Nova. Holy fuck, Fox what is that? Horrible.
