The Simpsons is in its 23rd season and the show still makes me laugh! On Sunday’s (yes I am behind on my viewing) Superintendent Chalmers was in charge of The Breakfast Club and he went into the wrong room. That brilliant little flashback gives new meaning to “Just me. Just you and me. Two hits. Me hitting you. You hitting the floor. Anytime you’re ready, pal” and I am OK with that! C’mon admit you can’t stop watching it, just like you can’t watch stop watching the coming of age John Hughes movie we all aspired to be at least one of the characters! Who did you want to be?
Yesterday Katy Perry was a guest star on The Simpsons and she appeared as her human self and not an animated version on the longest running scripted show in TV history. It was also one of the few times The Simpsons were not animated on the show, but appeared as puppets. After seeing them as puppets, I would love to see a whole episode of them like that.
BTW make sure to watch that clip all the way until the end because Moe kissed a part of Katy Perry and she liked it! I am shocked they actually got away with that and the censors didn’t try to stop it. Take that Sesame Street!!!
Back on April 19, 1987 when The Simpsons made there debut as a skit on The Tracey Ullman Show on Fox, I am sure that not one single person there thought that it would not only turn into a show, but it would still be on the air today? I am sure Fox never thought it, even though they announced today they just picked up the longest running comedy for a 23rd season bringing their total episodes to an amazing 515 episodes. Here is what EP Al Jean had to say about the great news, “Like many 22-year-olds, THE SIMPSONS is extremely happy remaining at home, on FOX, and hopes it doesn’t have to go out into the real world for many years to come.†For some reason and the rate it is going, I think the show will be on the air until it reaches the year that Futurama is set in!!!
Even though Halloween was a week ago, you can celebrate it all over again tonight on Fox starting at 8p! So grab your leftover candy and watch as The Simpsons, The Cleveland Show, Family Guy and American Dad give us a treat of tricks!
The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror XXI is just as good as all the other ones. This year they take on The Office and Twilight with Hugh Laurie and Daniel Radcliffe and they take it to a place that no one has ever seen. So tune into an animated night of horrors, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Before Hank Azaria was working at a Kwik-E-Mart on The Simpsons, he was working in a newsroom on Growing Pains. He looks exactly the same now as when he was 25 in that 1989 episode.
