“The Simpsons” set to lose a character – Well before this season of “The Simpsons” even really got started, the news was already starting to come out that the show was going to kill off a character at the start of the next season in the fall. However, now that we are nearing the end of season […]
There are crazy things to do to promote the launch of a show in syndication … and then there are insane things to do. We have a feeling that the following qualifies for “insane” and then some.

“The Simpsons” honor Letterman – There are few other programs out there that have the same sort of lifespan as David Letterman has in between “Late Night” and “The Late Show,” and one of them is “The Simpsons.” Therefore, you really cannot be that surprised that the Fox series has decided to pay tribute to the […]

This is going to be quite the big weekend when it comes to Judd Apatow. Not only is the director of “The 40-year Old Virgin,” “Knocked Up,” and the executive producer on “Girls” going to be appearing on one of his favorite shows of all time in “The Simpsons,” but there will also be an […]
“The Simpsons” finally has a home on cable TV, and it’s on a network that at the moment is really desperate for a win. Today, FXX (which, it should be noted, is one of the cable sister stations to the show’s first-run broadcaster in Fox) has signed on to be the exclusive owner of the […]
