THE SIMPSONS Pays Homage to GUNSMOKE

Sunday, April 29, 2018 is a big day for THE SIMPSONS: with the episode—its 636th—it officially becomes the longest-running primetime drama in television history. (GUNSMOKE previously held the record with its 635 installments.)

To celebrate THE SIMPSONS-GUNSMOKE connection, the animated series parodied the western (and the milestone) with its opening. Check out the video and the poster! Read more

About Last Night…ONCE UPON A TIME, BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, QUANTICO, and More

ABC and Fox launched their Sunday lineups this week, so a lot of TV went down. (And that’s not even including Showtime’s finales…and I’m, sadly, woefully behind on both MASTERS OF SEX and RAY DONOVAN.)

THE SIMPSONS: Harry Shearer Staying Put

Harry Shearer will remain with THE SIMPSONS after all.

Though Shearer seemed set to exit in May, Fox has confirmed the entire core voice cast will return for the upcoming two seasons.

Shearer — who voices Ned Flanders, Mr. Burns, Principal Skinner, Reverend Lovejoy, and Smithers, to name a few of his characters — has been a part of the show from the start. (In fact, the two-season renewal means the show will run to at least 625 episodes.)

Are you happy Shearer is staying with the show?

Fox Announces 2015-2016 Schedule

With no X FACTOR or UTOPIA in sight, Fox is sans any huge reality blocks for the start of the upcoming season.

That also means that aside from the Sunday lineup — which is staying untouched — only GOTHAM, EMPIRE, and BONES are remaining in the same spots they occupied for the 2014-2015 season. (And NEW GIRL is off the schedule until January.)

Check out Fox’s schedule, and what the network had to say about their 2015-2016 shows… Read more

THE SIMPSONS Renewed for Two More Seasons

THE SIMPSONS has been renewed for two seasons, Fox announced. That will make it season 27 and 28 for the long-running animated series. (And 625 episodes!)

“I’ve outlasted Letterman, Jon Stewart and ‘McDreamy,’ because I have something they don’t: a costly 200-donut-a-day addiction,” said Homer Simpson in a statement from Fox.

The comedy has had a big year: in addition to the renewal, FXX aired the “Every. Simpsons. Ever.” marathon; launched SIMPSONS WORLD — which boasts streaming on demand of every SIMPSONS episode, in addition to other fun goodies; aired crossovers with both FAMILY GUY and FUTURAMA; and the show took over the Hollywood Bowl for a SIMPSONS musical concert.

THE SIMPSONS to Air Fan-Made Pixel Opening Credits

Television fans can be insanely creative when it comes to showing their love for their favorite shows, and three THE SIMPSONS fans from Australia — artists/animators Paul Robertson and Ivan Dixon, and musician Jeremy Dower — are now seeing their project get incorporated into the show.

The three men recreated THE SIMPSONS’ opening sequence using pixel art, and the video went viral. THE SIMPSONS producers reached out to the men, and now those opening credits will be used before this Sunday’s brand new episode.

“This job was already great; now people are doing the work for us,” THE SIMPSONS showrunner Al Jean joked in a statement. “Thanks for 90 brilliant seconds Ivan, Paul and Jeremy.”

Did you miss the video when it went viral and can’t wait until Sunday to check it out? Watch it now…

Marisa’s Top 14 Episodes of 2014

For my top episodes of the year, I did something different this year: I didn’t let myself choose anything from my top shows of 2014. There are certainly shows there that could (and maybe should) have installments listed here, but considering how much television I watch, I wanted to expand the field of shows versus just going over (again) why I loved the top shows.

The following episodes aren’t ranked (they’re listed alphabetically), but I did note which one would have been number one if I had gone that route…

And have you seen Sarah and Kelly’s lists, too? Check out Sarah’s top shows and top episodes, as well as Kelly’s top shows and top episodes.

THE SIMPSONS: Yeardley Smith Teases the FUTURAMA Crossover

The FAMILY GUY-THE SIMPSONS crossover wasn’t the only pop culture/animated series collision this season for the Simpsons family: in Sunday’s episode of THE SIMPSONS, the characters from FUTURAMA (which was also created by SIMPSONS creator Matt Groening) pop up to prevent the destruction of the future.

I spoke with THE SIMPSONS star Yeardley Smith (Lisa) about “Simpsorama,” and how her character is handling these visitors…
