Harry Shearer, who for decades has worked as one of the stars of The Simpsons—lending his voice to characters like Ned Flanders, Mr. Burns, Principal Skinner and Waylon Smithers—has seemingly announced he will no longer be working on the show.

A story on TMZ over the weekend claimed that attempts to renew the long-running cartoon for a 27th and 28th season were being held up by Shearer, who was reportedly fine with his pay offer for the new seasons, but had “issues with back-end and merchandising” rights.

Quote
In addition to the above characters, Shearer also voiced Kent Brockman, Dr. Hibbert, Scratchy and Homer’s pal Lenny. The show just won’t be the same without him.

I still enjoy new Simpsons episodes, and I was kind of rooting for it to get to 30 seasons. But dude voiced a LOT of characters, losing him pretty much ruins the show. I think at this point it needs to be put down. :(

People watching Sunday afternoon football and are too lazy to change the channel.
