Are The Simpsons Headed For Cancellation?

Contractual dispute between studio, actors puts long running animated show in jeopardy.

Is the end near for Bart, Lisa, Homer, Marge and Maggie?

You can thank all these POS politicians for the new gun legislation designed to make law abidingRead More citizens give up their second amendment rights out of sheer frustration and incontinence of owning a gun legally for increases in savage on citizen violence. This is only the beginning and in short time many New Yorker's will be forced to remain in their homes fearing one of these animals will make them their pray. I for one believe in the old adage, it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
