but why?

 

[Professor Booty]

South Park been dipping into them older but then staying young is better imo

 

[Comrade Khan]

there isa great futurama episode that explains why sitcoms and cartoons do this. its great. real ones will know what I am talking about, Fry has a speech about it lol

 

[Professor Booty]

but why?

because they are made for a certain demographic and it’s much easier to keep that demographic if they stay the same age as said demographic

 

[Professor Booty]

Like last nights Always Sunny convo, the actors have changed their looks so much as they got older it’s not the same as the early years

 

[Butters]

and nobody really watches a show for that long. i can't recall every meeting someone that has told me they've watched every episode of The Simpsons and have their whole life

 

[Brett]

Isnt that part of it all tho Butters? You age out of a show when you don't evolve it. You can only watch them get in the same scenarios over and over

 

[Professor Booty]

and nobody really watches a show for that long. i can't recall ever meeting someone that has told me they've watched every episode of The Simpsons and have their whole life

yeah that’s definitely not true

 

[Brett]

Thats kind of proving my point

 

[Butters]

yeah that’s definitely not true

you've met the same ppl i have?

 

[Butters]

dad?

 

[Jimmy King]

The show I’ve been watching lately I’m on the last season and I can tell the writing has changed because they’ve ruined a lot of characters and one of the best relationships in the show

 

[Professor Booty]

Not that you’ve met them that people don’t watch shows that long

 

[Brett]

I think a show like South Park is incredibly reliant on the stories being told thru elementary aged kids. So I don't want to use that as an example. But surely if you had the Simpsons kids even move up a grade once every 5 seasons. I don't see how that would turn off an audience especially since adult animation I'd imagine is targeted to those 13-40

 

[Professor Booty]

Thats kind of proving my point

your first mistake is thinking any of us care enough to have a point or want to disprove yours
