Writers Strike to Drain Simpsons
Indications, at the moment, are not good. The writers strike, it seems, has not been good for the Simpsons. Recently, BuddyTV.com posted an alarming bit of news. Because the shows take so long to produce, there is not an enough of show backlogged. Simply put, the show is bound to run out of new episodes before the strike ends. Even more, there will be a longer gap – more so than other shows – between the last episode and any new ones can be released, due to production schedules. That may not sound exactly good. At least, however, there’s a lot of material floating out in syndication, and there’s always the DVD collections. On the horizon, however, there are those new episodes of Futurama that will be forthcoming on Comedy Central. Still, as much as one may like Futurama, it’s certainly not The Simpsons.
