There was a version of Scooby Doo where he was a puppy and the rest of the regular characters were younger kids: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Pup_Named_Scooby-Doo

The Simpsons renewed through 2025, will pass 800-episode mark
- Thread starter Don CT
- Start date
The Archie Comics series with the classic look, except for Archie: The Married Life, is one of those situations in which the characters have remained the same ages throughout the many years, eight decades in this case, of publication but nevertheless have adopted new technologies as they were released. Therefore, while the ages of Archie and his friends remain the same, the calendar year has changed constantly to reflect the present day.
The Simpsons are in the same situation. Despite being stuck in their same respective ages for over three decades in the real world, the Simpsons have experienced many changes that have happened since the 1980s, including the introductions of the Internet and smartphones.
Very few. The Simpsons, Family Guy, even Beavis and Butthead. They generally stick with the characters their audiences are familiar with and don't change or age them. Things like aging children have actually hurt past sitcoms with live characters before, because as the kids age there may be new and different types of plot lines to introduce, but some of the "cuteness" factor is lost for sure. A few shows have tried to introduce a new child actor as the original ones age out (Oliver on the Brady Bunch, Seven on Married with Children), but that can sometimes be a last-ditch effort to try and boost failing ratings as a show ages. Despite the best intentions of the show's producers, in general characters like Oliver and Seven have proven to be very unpopular with most viewers who want to see the characters they've grown to love and appreciate, rather than a new "kid" coming in and introducing a new dynamic. In the case of Oliver being introduced on the Brady Bunch, that also more or less signaled the end of the show.
I remember watching that when I was a kid plus the Flintstone kids.
I would never of thought that either but there really hasn't been any "new" mickey mouse shows that have been constant that totals or will total how much the simpsons has. I always thought Bugs Bunny would of had alot more episodes to as it was on primetime and Saturday mornings for 40 years plus the 20 Yeats before that in theatrical shorts but even the simpsons beat them.
Oh no, the world didn’t conform to your tastes? Seems like plenty of people find it entertaining.
Julie Kavner can barely voice Marge at this point, her vocal decay is shocking and sad. And yet no one can let The Simpsons die with a modicum of dignity. Disney sure as heck won’t let it end because money.
Fox needs it just as much.
But isn’t that the point of a business, to make money? If the show is still doing so, indicating a decent number of people are watching, continuing with it is the way to go. We all know we’re closer to the end than the beginning.
How much does it cost to produce an episode of The Simpsons.
I guess people are surprised since The Simpsons is still on after 34 seasons with the same voice cast as to other long running shows like Power Rangers (30 Seasons), Greys Anatomy (19 Seasons), Law & Order SVU (24 Seasons), Law & Order (22 Seasons, with a 12 year break) that has most of their cast changed over the course of their seasons. With The Simpsons it's the same voice cast that started in 1989 with the show and some that even started with the Tracy Ullman show in 1987 that did the Simpsons shorts on her show.
Kieth Richards, too???
not during Jan-Feb
there's no new episode until Feb 19, there was only one episode in Jan
That's built into the schedule. They still have 20-24 episodes a season.
Back in 2012 it was $5 million an episode, or $110 million per season.
Um, sports, anyone? Their schedule is a jumble with their NFL playoffs and avoiding things like the Super Bowl. A simple six week break +/-
