Posts: 63,107	Harry Shearer: "'The Simpsons' Is Successful Because of No Interference from Fox" The Simpsons star Harry Shearer insists the animated show is such a big hit because the company behind it is not allowed to interfere with the scripts. The actor, who voices Mr. Burns among others on the show, is delighted Fox, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, has no say in the making of the show as he believes the series would never work otherwise. He says, "Rupert can't get involved. We had it written into our script that Fox weren't allowed to meddle with our scripts. "In fact, I'm pretty sure the reason we've been so successful is because no one's been able to interfere." COPYRIGHT 2007 WORLD ENTERTAINMENT NEWS NETWORK LTD.
