Back in 2000, The Simpsons predicted that Lisa Simpson would inherit the Presidency from a President Trump. Due his reign the Country was left flat broke.
Dan Greaney, the man who wrote the episode, told The Hollywood Reporter, “It was a warning to America,” adding “And that just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom. It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane.”
And now 16 years later we have gone that insane.
F*cking Simpsons needs to use their psychic ability for good like they have done for a Super Bowl and World Series, and not bad like they did for the President of the United States.

Last month, The Simpsons aired its 600th episode. Only one other Primetime scripted show has filmed more episode and that show is Gunsmoke. The Western aired a total of 635 episodes before riding off into the sunset forever.
In order for the animated show to beat Gunsmoke, it would need another season. Today, not only did Fox give them that order, it gave them another one on top of that. Therefore, not only will it get to episode 636, they will also get to 666 and 669.
I don’t know what I am more excited for, episode 636 or episode 666. You know they will have to do something special for that Hellish episode that will air sometime in the Spring of 2018.
But a year before that we will get to the magic episodes that will shatter a television record and I hope that they do something special for the monumental episodes that probably will not happen again in our lifetime. Or until South Park catches up a few years later.
But will South Park do more episodes than The Simpsons? Only time will tell…

Can you believe that The Simpsons is turning 600 tonight at 8p on Fox? It is and they are doing it with their annual Treehouse of Horror episode. Past arch nemesises will be back to haunt them at the beginning of the show before we get into another epic couch gag. From there we go to their take of Hunger Games with Monty Burns hogging all of the water. Once that spooky tale ends, all of Lisa Simpson’s best friends are getting murdered. Who is killing the off? Finally it is time for the best story of the night. Moe’s has a secret lair underneath the bar and all the patrons have a secret. One that they are finally ready to share with Bart.
Tonight’s Treehouse of Horror is so good, you will be wishing for 600 more Simpsons episodes. I am sure they have it in them.
Don’t forget to get your Google Cardboard Viewer to watch the special The Simpsons virtual reality experience.
The Simpsons turns 600 on Sunday and Homer Simpson did some press for the milestone. Yesterday, while Jimmy Kimmel was doing his monologue, his stage started to shake. Turns out it was Homer Simpson banging on his TV that caused it. The patriarch banged on it so hard that the ABC late night host found himself Springfield. Once he was there, we all got a one of a kind tour of our favorite town that we don’t where it is in the USA. A tour so cool even Bart Simpson would exclaim, “Cowabunga Dude!”
If someone would’ve told Tracey Ullman that a skit from her show would still be on the air in its 28th season and counting, I don’t think she would’ve believed them. Heck, I don’t think we would’ve believe them either.
But on October 16th, The Simpsons will hit a milestone only one other primetime scripted show has it. Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie will celebrate their 600th episode and it will be Treehouse of Horrors XXVII. I can’t think of anything more fitting for the iconic episode.
How many more episodes do they need to catch up to Gunsmoke? 34 to tie and 35 for the win!
