Comment on Was Disney's Fox purchase a huge waste of money?

I feel like both the Simpsons and family guy had their day in the sun but aren’t the cultural phenomenons they used to be. They would need to sell a lot of bart plushies to make 70 billion and to kids even care about the Simpsons anymore? It’s been over a decade since its heyday.

My guy you’re talking about the studio that sold BB-8 branded oranges. You’d be surprised what people buy.

  Fair point but Star Wars was already huge in merchandising before the purchase and Disney has arguably hurt the toy sales with their recent movies and over exposure.

    The TV offerings have given an endless amount of merchandising opportunities.
    
    I say this as I am wearing a Mandalorian t-shirt, looking over at my Lego build of the N1 fighter, thinking about all of the new Star Wars content coming out of the Dave Filoni camp.
