This is how we learn that it was Jimmy Carter keeping the Simpsons on the air all these years.

The far more upsetting part is that they are killing Bob's Burgers apparently

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

That announcement also confirmed Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy renewed through to their current 15th and 23rd seasons, respectively.

And the article basically says everyone watches on Hulu anyway.

They’re killing it? Where did you hear that?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Article says that are moving it to Wednesday

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hm, could be killing it. Alternative is that like the article says it's a bigger day for streaming, but 50/50 in my book. Personally, Bob's Burgers is the best show out of all of them mentioned in the article, and it would kill me if they cancelled it - but it's also on Season 15. I'd much rather see it cancelled on a high note rather than fall into squalor like Family Guy or Simpsons.

110% agree with this. It's had an amazing run, let it die peacefully rather than become a zombie.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I’m hoping so. I’ve only ever watched it on Hulu.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

No no no, it says it got renewed already.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

What!? Oh no!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

I almost forgot this was still on TV. It used to be one of my favorite shows but I haven't watched an episode in years.

It's not often that it makes the news when something doesn't happen

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

aw, dangit. anyway

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Not counting all the times it failed to air because of sportball.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I continue to be surprised that The Simpsons is still on the air. It's a cliche now to say it hasn't been good since the late 90s.
