Are you sitting down? You are about to learn something that is going to rock your world.
You know those iconic Homer Simpson burps that rattle your soul? Well, Dan Castellaneta, who voices the beer-loving patriarch, is not the one who makes those belching sounds.
Nancy Cartright, who plays his son Bart, revealed that she is the voice behind them.
Don’t take her word for it? Take her burps for it.
I just love that a petite woman is the one who makes such a powerful sound. That and her addictive laugh.
Yeardley Smith shared a photo of herself with her neck slashed, so who else besides Bart Simpson would want to do that his sister, Lisa? We don’t know. We will just have to go see her horror movie, Possessions, which she is also an executive producer on, to find out.
Now let’s talk about what a great job the makeup department did. It really looks like someone cut her open from ear to ear.
Before Hank Azaria was Chief Wiggum on The Simpsons, he was just a police officer on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He looks the same now as he did when he was 26 in that 1990 episode.
The Simpsons has been on the air for so long that on Sunday, it will air its 700th episode. In honor of the milestone, they asked Bill Plympton to animate the couch gag. What we got is a cool and different take of the show’s opening. One that is so out there, I am all trippy over it.
When it comes to the episode itself, we are going to learn something new and secretive about Ned Flanders. What will be? I hope it is something kinky, like when we learned what a sexy body he has.
Fox announced today that they picked up The Simpsons for a 33rd and 34th season. That means the show will be creating new episodes until at least 2023. By the end of that season, they will have aired 757 original episodes.
At this rate, no primetime scripted show will be able to catch up. Even scarier, we are getting to the point that the animated show is going to outlive the people who write it and more importantly the people behind the voices.
I mean, if you think about it, most of the people who watch it, were not even born when it debuted in 1989.
Hey Homer Simpson, how long has your show been on the air? “Woo Hoo! With any luck the show will soon be older than I am,” he said. How old is he? We will find out when the show catches up to him. Something, I am sure it will do. I am sure it will even be as old as Grandpa Simpson some day. We will all be watching it from our nursing home rooms just like A does every Sunday.
