No offense to Mr Corden, but the original, Alan Reed, was the superior Fred.  Tho' he was certainly better than some of the AWFUL folks Warners brought in to replace Mel Blanc in the years immediately following HIS death.

I shudder to think of what hacks will be doing Marge & Homer decades after Kavner & Castellanetta have left us...

I hope they have the taste to end the franchise should that happen.  They were tasteful enough to end Troy McClure et al when Phil Hartman was so tragically murdered a few years ago ...

There's a guy who does commercial voiceovers who sounds EXACTLY like Hartman-doing-McClure. Scary.
