With this season being under 20 episodes long, Season 36’s going to have a lot of holdovers.
Includes excerpt from his interview on The Times of London.
Just a ridiculous whinge when he says that the new voice artist sounds exactly the same as him.
There was a clip doing the rounds on the social media a couple of days back of a new episode featuring him voicing Mr Burns and honestly Shearer’s voice sounded dreadful.
It is true though. The Simpsons has changed a lot compared to the classic episodes.
Which is true about most shows on television these days. Have a look at any show from the late 80s or early 90s and you’ll probably be shocked about a lot of the writing and content.
It sounds like the VA’s are just calling it in now.
MacKenzie, who was born in Lima, Peru, voiced Marge for its first 15 seasons in Latin America.
Sad news.
I wonder how they will continue with her voice?
However they’re doing it now I guess? It says she was the voice for its first 15 seasons. Someone has to have been doing it for the rest up til now?
Quite a few foreign dubs have had voice artists die, and the roles have always just been recast. I know Germany lost their original Homer and Marge, and they were both recast.
"You don’t have a Cousin Frank? “He became Francine back in '76! Then he joined that cult. I think his name is Mother Shabubu now?”
The Simpsons will release four never-before-seen episodes exclusively to Disney+, starting in December.
This Disney+ exclusives include a Christmas-themed double episode titled “O C’mon All Ye Faithful” and premiering Tuesday, Dec. 17 (pegged to the 35th anniversary of the animated series’ original Christmas special), plus episodes titled “The Past and the Furious” and “Yellow Planet” (to debut “in the months ahead”).
The Simpsons must go. It’s been on for too long now (35+ seasons and nearly 900 episodes), and the original voice actors need to be retired.
No word yet on a Season 37, but it’s probably obvious it’ll get one.
In the long run, my theory is they’ll keep the main series going until it hits one of two major milestones - season 40 or 1000 episodes, whichever one’s closer - then they’ll end it all off with that long-awaited second movie before relegating the characters to those seasonal Disney+ shorts and associated promotions.
The voice actors and crew are all getting older, not even this show is meant to last forever.
