    "Simpsons" stars in work stoppage

    I'm not sure exactly how the animation works, but I believe that a good bit of it is farmed out to Asia. It's not like there's just a few artists that sit around and do it. Once the initial character sketches are done, apparently any animator can fill in the frames. It's not like other drawing...

    "Simpsons" stars in work stoppage

    It's called profit sharing. It's not necessarily that I think their being overpaid, I think their shows are overvalued. If the Simpsons cast gets what they want, then that will mean in the end they made a fortune off of a ground breaking television show that helped establish a network and...

    "Simpsons" stars in work stoppage

    I think these people deserve it. They are a major part of the success of this show. Their pay should be based on their contribution to the success of the show, and not on how much time it takes them. Fox puts very little into the show and gets a great return on it, the voice actors, as well as...
