Thank You Fox! Now bring back Family Guy. King of the Hill is great also. http://www.msnbc.com/news/860779.asp
As a die hard Simpsons fanatic, I'm a little embarrased to say that I don't watch new episodes on Sundays...Not because they're un-funny, but because I know that the show will be in syndication for the rest of eternity. A lot of loyal viewers have said that the newer episodes has become stale, but as long as people continue to watch, I guess FOX will keep going along...I just don't want the greatest show of all time to limp to the finish line like so many other sit-coms have done previously... This also is testament to just how crappy new comedies are these days...
I wonder if the ratings stay relatively stable or exhibit big drops in recent years...Anyhow it has got to be true The Simpsons may be the most successful sindicated T.V. show in history...
I don't know the $$$ amounts, but Just Shoot Me and Everbody Loves Raymond were each sold for over 500$ million in syndication. (525 million for 5yrs of Just Shoot Me). http://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2002/0708/128.html The Simpsons is still rerunning on Fox so they haven't made any $$$ yet. If they sell them to other networks, big time cash.
Anything they put after the Simpsons in the 730cst slot is going to have decent ratings. That's how Fox starts all it's new promising shows. I think King of the Hill is strong enough to make it in the 6:30 slot. I wish they would move Futurama up to the 730cst slot. It is a great show and needs some exposure. It is pretty cool that it comes on at 10pm cst on the Cartoon Network now.
