Yeah, that sucks. That had me looking up how old the rest of the cast is, and while I don't think we're likely to lose any of the prominent voice actors in the next five years, it is a thing they'd better be thinking about.

they need to cancel it before any of the main cast dies because otherwise they're going to be stuck trying to draw that line between writing the character out/recasting the voice/cancelling the show and it's just going to be excruciating

like who is more important to the show's "legacy" or whatever? julie kavner, who is a main cast member but only does a couple of voices, or harry shearer, who does half the show but none of the simpson family?

just kill it. kill it kill it kill it

They might be able to replace some of Harry Shearer's characters, but certainly not all of them. And he's 75, so time is not long to figure this out.

Cut out his voice box and implant it in a Galapagos Turtle. Those things live for thousands of years.

I think when a VA dies, they should use an existing VA as the replacement. No new VAs allowed until finally its down to one person doing the whole show.

I can definitely get behind The Simpsons season 63 being just Yeardley Smith as every voice.

And that's with a handful of films. The 30 seasons of Simpsons so far could be used to build the most complex, fine tuned vocal synth ever even for the side characters let alone the main cast. Vocaloid Simpsons is the future.
