But everybody in management now has joined a Fox that in many ways was synonymous with The Simpsons. The article points out many of the writers grew up watching the show, figure it's pretty similar for a lot of management too. Married with Children only made it 10 years (and ended 9 years ago, man is time flying), and really they only kept it that long to make some bigt milestones the ratings had been in the toilet for a while. The Simpsons, with all its flaws, is still pulling the ratings and the revenue, but assuming that ever stops I think its going to be hard for anybody but Murdoch (no sissy emotionalist by any definition) to pull the plug.
if it is a superstition thing, then quit making new ones and start reruns from the very beginning...
good for another 18 years!
