When we first heard that the upcoming May 15 episode of “The Simpsons” was going to be doing something live, we really had no clue how in the world that would be possible. This is a show that tends to animate their episodes months in advance, so we wondered how in the world it would […]
Jay Leno has not been on network TV too much these days, but it seems as though he does have a new venue now (albeit in animated form): “The Simpsons.” According to Entertainment Weekly, the former “Tonight Show” host is going to guest-star on the upcoming May 8 episode as himself, and is going to […]
This weekend “The Simpsons” released a new video online, and in this one they showed their own knack for political satire. As you can see, Marge has a bad dream that includes many of the biggest names in politics fighting on stage in the most over-the-top manner, using at times even real soundbites from some […]
Everyone loves to do the live-TV experiments in some shape or form, but we have to admit that “The Simpsons” is not a show we envisioned ever making the jump over to this format. Yet, this somehow seems to be happening still. Fox has announced that for their upcoming May 15 episode of the show, […]
Castle, The Bachelor, The Simpsons
Let’s just make one thing clear: Valentine’s Day is more often than not a bad night to air new programming. People are off doing other things, and for those who were home Sunday, they were probably watching “The Walking Dead” / “Talking Dead” and very little else. Judging from the reviews that show had, we […]
Galavant, Madam Secretary, The Good Wife, The Simpsons
Oh, the power of airing after NFL broadcasts. While the final week of the football season paid some big dividends last week for CBS, this time around it helped out Fox in their continued attempt to launch some new shows. We suppose that they didn’t know the schedule in advance, since otherwise we don’t know […]
After being off for the holidays “The Simpsons” is one of the shows that is coming back on the air Sunday night, and they are doing so with something that feels in one part a take on silicon valley, and another part an opportunity to bring in some big-name guest stars. Kaitlin Olson (“It’s Always […]
Madam Secretary, Quantico, The Simpsons
Sunday nights have hardly been a night full of ratings revelations for broadcast networks, but based on some of the latest numbers that have come in now, Sunday may have actually been a marked improvement for some series! The winners – Aided in part by getting a lead-in from NFL football, “The Simpsons” (2.4) won big […]
It’s not often that we write about episodes of “The Simpsons,” largely because when you are more than 25 years into your run, there really are not too many opportunities for the show to do things that are new or surprising. In some ways, the fact that this was a subject for a story in […]
Once Upon a Time, Quantico, The Simpsons
We should start this particular ratings update by noting that there has to be a clear asterisk alongside everything that we’re saying. Not only are there some football overruns on Fox that could lead to some adjustments, but the same goes for President Obama’s speech delaying most broadcasts by 15-16 minutes. This is not accounted […]
