Watch a trailer for the ‘Mythbusters’ premier featuring ‘The Simpsons’
Tomorrow night on a network I probably won’t tune into, is the premier episode of Mythbusters that will examine a couple of scenarios that have been devised by the longest-running animated franchise The Simpsons, and seeing it those myths are in fact truths.
You can read a bit more about the episode here, and check out a trailer for the special here. I will instead be watching the Black Dynamite season two finale.
The Simpsons are all-new this Sunday Night on FOX @ 8 pm ET/PT, check your local listings.
Short of getting Roiland back, which I'm sure isn't going to happen, I don't even think they could get much better than the new voices from the previous season. And the ratings for season 7 weren't much lower on average than for season 6; it was pretty much just a normal season-to-season drop that most likely would have happened regardless.
I mean, look at the actual averages:
Season 1 - 1.57 million viewers Season 2 - 1.97 million viewers Season 3 - 2.33 million viewers Season 4 - 1.52 million viewers Season 5 - 0.96 million viewers Season 6 - 0.56 million viewers Season 7 - 0.42 million viewers
Ever since season 3, it had been having steep drops even with Roiland still involved; the season 6 to 7 drop is actually the smallest-percentage drop it's had since it started dropping, and if anything it's possible that changing the voice actors actually *boosted* interest a bit and prevented it from dropping even more.
