The Abode of Hasbro-Starz-Film Roman

"It's getting hard to find a parking space around here. The place is packed to the gills."

On my visit to the big yellow building on Hollywood Way this morning, a bunch of people told me they'd never seen the joint busier ...

There's Marvel product, Hasbro's animated series, Dave Vs. _____, and of course the Yellow Family.

"We just heard that The Simpsons got picked up for another season beyond this one. Fox had an option on the show beyond the two seasons they'd already agreed to, and they exercised the option ..."

Which means, if true, an additional year of work for the Simpsons's crew. But it makes sense. Fox isn't dumb. They can read ratings numbers as well as anybody.

FOX SIZZLES IN THE KITCHEN AND ON THE DANCE FLOOR FOR A WEEKLY WIN

Originals of HELL’S KITCHEN and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE along with encores of GLEE and Sunday Animation Domination favorites led FOX to rank No.1 among Adults 18-49 last week.

FOX had 6 of the Top 20 programs among Adults 18-49: ... FAMILY GUY (No. 16) and THE SIMPSONS (No. 20).

FOX had 8 of the Top 20 programs among Adults 18-34: ... FAMILY GUY (No. 9), ... THE CLEVELAND SHOW (No. 13 tie), THE SIMPSONS (NO. 13 tie) ...

FOX had 8 of the Top 20 programs among Teens: FAMILY GUY (No. 5)... THE CLEVELAND SHOW (No. 13 tie) ... THE SIMPSONS (No. 13 tie) ...

And I'm thinking if the voice talent can be nudged into a new, multi-year contract, the production crews should be busy for at least a couple more years, yes?

It's DAN Vs, not Dave Vs. His name is Dan named after creator Dan Mandel.
