The Simpsons' 20th Season has only just started but believe it or not, we already have some information about next year's Halloween special!
Treehouse of Horror XX will air November 2009 and Al Jean has revealed that they will do a parody of 28 Days Later. "Krusty makes his hamburger out of mad cows, and it winds up turning everybody into zombies." We even have a promotional picture for the episode, showing how the family will look:
The Simpsons 20th Season kicks off this weekend with Homer getting into yet more trouble. Airing on Sunday, Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes (KABF17) starts at the Springfield St. Patrick's Day parade, where Homer causes a brawl and is sent to jail.
In jail he meets some bounty hunters and decides to become one, teaming up with the unlikely ally of Flanders! Meanwhile, Marge unknowingly begins working at an erotic bakery.
The Simpsons won their tenth Emmy for "Outstanding Animated Program (Less Than One Hour)" at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards this weekend.
The nominated episode, "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind", fended off competition from King of the Hill, Robot Chicken, Spongebob Squarepants and Creature Comforts.
Interestingly, regular nominees Family Guy and South Park were instead listed in the category for more than one hour, for their "Blue Harvest" and "Imaginationland" features respectively.
Entertainment Weekly's Hollywood Insider Blog revealed that Jodie Foster will be giving a voice to Maggie, while Anne Hathaway is going to lend her voice to Bart's object of affection.
The Simpsons Complete Eleventh Season is on its way! After being delayed from December last year due to The Simpsons Movie DVD release, we can now confirm Season 11 will be released on October 7th. As usual, the set will feature commentary on every episode as well as deleted scenes and commercials. Click continue below to see the full list of commentaries.
For the box design, Fox have continued with the 'head' theme from Seasons 6-10, but appear to now be using the standard box shape. They now move into secondary characters with Krusty the Clown:
Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show, will be voicing himself in an upcoming episode of The Simpsons, along with Dan Rather.
Timed with the release of the movie on DVD, several special Xbox 360 consoles have made their way on to eBay. The official boxes, from a batch of only 100 made, comprise of Homer's face on a yellow background, with The Simpsons Movie logo on the side. The controller is also yellow.
UK shopping giant Woolworths has signed a lucrative deal to promote The Simpsons Movie, due out on DVD Monday.
Matt Groening will redraw the store's puppet sheep and dog ad stars, Wooly and Worth, in Simpsons style.
Store fascia at 200 sites will be changed so the double 'o' in Woolworths is replaced by doughnuts - Homer Simpson's favourite treat.
Five Woolworth stores will be completely 'Simpsonised' by replacing the traditional red frontages with the cartoon's famous yellow, with life-size Homer and Bart Simpsons on hand. The coup is reckoned to be worth £5million to Woolworths.
Fox, which makes The Simpsons, transformed 12 North American 7-Elevens into real-life Kwik-E-Marts in July when The Simpsons Movie was first released.
The Futurama straight-to-DVD movie, titled Bender's Big Score was released yesterday! This is the first of four movies: the others are
The Beast with a Billion Backs, Bender's Game and The Wild Green Yonder.
The 'other show' by Simpsons creator Matt Groening was axed in 2003 but gained popoularity through DVD sales and re-runs on Comedy Central.
A few lists have been updated with information from the first half of Season 16:
- Couch gags (which has been reformatted)
- Bart's blackboard gags (also reformatted)
- Newspaper headlines
- Church billboards
I also added another entry to the recycled animation page. Other lists also need updating (such as the song lyrics) - I will try to get them done asap. Frink out.
Seems like ages since I last updated, but today I've added a small but quite interesting page about official Simpsons websites. It includes information about the main official site, as well as websites featured in the show. Enjoy!
Official Simpsons websites
Furthermore I have updated the Secret Sound and Which Character? contests. The last answers were: They Saved Lisa's Brain (sound) and Artie Ziff (character). Fredrik Larsson and Matt Starr still reign supreme at the top of the both leaderboards, well done guys!

I've got a huge update for you today! 14 more Tracey Ullman shorts have been added to the downloads section! See Homer try to take a family photo, Bart take an interest in art (!), the first appearance of Grampa and more! Definitely worth watching.
First content update for a little while, but it's a good one. I finally got around to updating the contests. The previous answers were: Simple Simpson and L.T. Smash (from New Kids On The Blecch). A new Secret Sound and Which Character contest can be found on the Interactive page.
I also added a new wallpaper of Homer and Bender from Futurama at Moe's! Go to the Wallpaper page to download.
Our miscellaneous pictures section has been updated today, with several new Channel Four mosaics, and a whole bunch of very cool Halloween art from Simpsons Comics.
Furthermore, four new Butterfinger adverts have been added to the Videos page. They're pretty funny so check them out!
Throughout December, UK television channel Sky One are running a new promotion, "The Simpsons A-Z". Every day for 25 days, episodes are shown which highlight a representation for the day's letter (with Y and Z together on one day). A is for Apu, B is for Bart, C is for Couch Gags, and so on. Each letter's alias also comes with a clip compilation, highlighting the best of that character or situation.
The promotion started last Monday and we are already up to the letter H (for Homer). I have archived the definitions and corresponding episodes into one page, which can be found in the articles section of the info page, or by clicking here.
I also added a new promo card I found for the Season 6 episode, "Itchy & Scratchy Land".
The holidays are coming! And to celebrate, we've put up a nice Seasonal design, hope you like it! And to brighten up your desktop, we've got five great Christmas-themed wallpapers!
Long time no updates from me...been pretty busy the last few weeks. Anywho... the Season 16 page has been updated again with some more info on upcoming episodes. A promo card for the recent episode 'Sleeping With The Enemy' has also been added to the gallery.
Furthermore, my reviews for all three new episodes of Season 16 have been added. You can see my reviews and members' reviews by following these links:
· Treehouse of Horror XV
· All's Fair in Oven War
· Sleeping With the Enemy
Not all great episodes, but worth watching, of course.
Finally, the contests have been updated. The last one went unupdated for over a month, hopefully this time it will be updated more quickly.
Season 16 starts this Sunday in the US, with the annual Treehouse of Horror episode...the fifteenth, in fact. And there's some nice-sounding episodes coming up too! Check out the Episode Guide where we've added a new Season 16 page. We will try and keep this updated as the Season progresses. And don't forget to go to the members section after a new episode airs to share your thoughts and to rate the episode!
Along the same lines I have added promotional images for two upcoming episodes: one for Treehouse of Horror XV and three from All's Fair In Oven War.
I have added some cool audio clips to the members section, from Inside The Actors Studio: The Simpsons. I have also reorganised the main page of the section, since it looked a little confusing before.
And just for fun, I've decided to post the top five episodes as rated by members:
1. Trilogy of Error
2. Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)
3. You Only Move Twice
4. Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment
5. Bart vs. Australia
If you have not rated many episodes, now is your chance! The more ratings we have, the more accurate the list will be, and it only takes two minutes to do.
Along the same 'interactive' route, the contests are updated again. The previous answers were Homer: Bad Man for the Secret Sound and Lord Thistlewick Flanders for Which Character.
