It is a sad day for Simpsons fans. Harry Shearer, the voice of numerous well-loved characters, will no longer be on the show. Details after the jump!

 

He took to twitter to explain what happened:

Say it ain’t so! Popular long running shows often have disputes between actors and management (remember Friends?), but with cartoons, it’s a lot easier to replace the voice than having to kill off a character. Just the thought of someone other than Harry Shearer voicing the beloved characters has thrown people into a Ned Flanders inspired rage:

 

 

Then the rage dies down when you find out that they’re making $300,000 per episode, wouldn’t that be nice? No one really knows how many more seasons the show has, currently in it’s 26th season, but it continues to be a huge money maker for FOX, despite concerns from older fans that think the show is waning. Could this be the start of the end?
