The Simpsons Drops Below 1 Million Viewers for the First Time in 33 Seasons

>On Sunday night, “The Simpsons” fell below the magic number of 1 million viewers for the first time ever in its 33 year history.

>Last week’s show scored 1,095,000 and that was the second week in a row of low numbers. Ratings for “The Simpsons” are usually around 1.5 million although sometimes it’s double that amount. Six times this season the total number of viewers has been up to 4 million.

>But Sunday night brought just 950,000 fans. It was a drop of over 100,000 and a significant fall from the season opener last September of 3.5 million viewers.

>Don’t worry, “The Simpsons” won’t be cancelled any time soon. It’s a low budget show with so many other revenue streams– merchandise, etc — that Fox isn’t even close to saying goodbye. But the sudden drop is a little worrisome.

>The episode on Sunday, The Sound of Bleeding Gums, was no different than the last several hundred. Little Lisa, who plays the sax, meets a jazz legend. Maybe it was too arcane. But aren’t all “Simpsons” episodes like that?

>Lisa meets the son of the late musician Bleeding Gums Murphy -- and attempts to improve his life.
Gee why didn't anybody watch this episode

>Lisa meets a jazz legend
Hasn’t this already happened multiple times, and also with musicians from different genres?

how tf do that many people still watch it

Brand recognition.

It's not a show designed for the 2010's and 2020's. It's whole appeal was the late 80's 90's to early 2000's vibe.

Idk put on anything after like season 15 and you're lucky to get a single chuckle per episode

>Hasn’t this already happened multiple times
It's been on since 1979, of course

>Lisa's met her heroes many times before
>But this one's a jazz musician!

>It’s a low budget show
How much do the actors make again?

It’s made for braindead liberal gen xers like Mike Stoklasa

For me it's a combination of nostalgia, character investment, and perhaps a bit if Sunken Costs. They do occasionally do something sweet with characters long time fans care about, like Moe finally finding happiness.

Anything in the HD widescreen years is shit.

>character investment
They've literally completely rewritten the characters at least 6 times now dude. How can you be invested in that

Have no fear, they have stories for years.

I've never watched the Simpsons, but I recently learned that Homer was now canonically in high school in the early 2000s. I find that pretty funny.

Ha, he used to graduate the same year as my Dad, in 1974.

>It’s a low budget show
But doesn't the VA get millions at every episode?

last I heard he had teenage band in the 90s called...sadgasm?

>>Don’t worry, “The Simpsons” won’t be cancelled any time soon.

Just let it die. Is it an American thing to run a show into the ground well beyond its glory days? Do other countries milk their favorite shows to death and keep trodding the corpses out for literal decades?

Apparently the Simpsons is still very popular in parts of Latin America.

>Do other countries milk their favorite shows to death and keep trodding the corpses out for literal decades?
Doctor Who, nigger frogposter.

Sucks to think that my parents were enjoying "Lie to me", that got cancelled and it was getting something like 3-4 millions per episode.

>Six times this season the total number of viewers has been up to 4 million.

Why?

How?

They're the only ones who care about it at this point

Do they still have a good dub for it?

Looney Tunes ended though. The brand only persists with various reboots

FOOTBAWL
any time the animated block doesn't get some as it's opener, it's viewership craters. Simpsons takes the biggest hit

How many sneedles would I get?

That makes sense.

It'll never die.

CANCEL THIS FUCKING SHOW ALREADY
Not out out of hatred ,it's a mercy kill we ask

You're a fool and it sounds like you don't even know it.

>It’s a low budget show
How the fuck is it?
The voice actors must have high demands after 33 fucking years.

Yes, yes they do. In pretty every country that makes television shows, kek

Dr Who at least has the decency to relaunch in the form of a new Doctor and new cast each time.

>666
Satan confirms.

Dropping anyone who's not playing the correct race probably "accidently" dropped per episode paychecks.

>FOOTBAWL
Why do people still watch football again?

>The episode on Sunday, The Sound of Bleeding Gums
Didn't he die over a decade ago?

But there are all still there just some roles are gone.
I can just imagine they get producers credit or something

You mean like that one season with the woman doctor?

7 to 8 max.

kek

Even if it gets cancelled they will make Young Homer or someshit just to bleed more ad moneu from brain dead boomers

Some Japanese children’s anime go on for a unbelievably long time, even the passing of the main characters VA in one didn’t stop it

>countless pozzed choices within a decade
>b-b-but I can't miss the superbooooooowl
I fucking hate normalfags so much, bros.

Fox have threatened to replace them everytime they get greedy and tried to demand too much

Did they get James Earl Jones again?

/pw/ where the hell are you?
I expected "what no million?" Posts everywhere

What is this sudden obsession with sign language? Is the vaccine going to make people lose their hearing?

Objection! Nu-who is a soulless reboot whereas The Simpsons has never finished

Bart in season 1 (10 years old, so born 1979) would be older in 2022 than current season Homer (who’s 38, meaning he’d be born in 1984). And I’m now realizing Homer’s a millennial.

I was in 4th grade when the Simpsons started. I'm 42 now. Put this decrepit shell of a show out of it's misery.

True. Okaasan to Issho started in 1959 and still airs today.

No tits is a huge compliment.

In just 4 years, season 1 Maggie will be older than current season Homer and Marge

This show is now more shit than it was ever good

The simpsons has had many points where it could be considered a proper ending. Some people who hate zombie simpsons consider the early episodes with the simpsons in the future to be acceptable endings.

It's funny, people thought I was gay for not being into sports and now sports are gay

The fact there's still a million fucking circumcised golem mutts watching this is astonishing.

HAVE NO FEARS, WE'VE GOT STORIES FOR YEARS

But it never did, whereas Doctor Who was finished, properly finished. Even in the lore he had reached the maximum number of regenerations and it was decades before they raped its' corpse

Sports was always gay.

The moment the Simpsons "dies" they will announce a reboot with globohomo minimalist art style.
