As the longest running animated series — "The Simpsons" — enters its 18th season this Sunday, September 10, series creator Matt Groening plans to keep moving forward with the beloved TV classic. "My attitude at this point is, as long as the people who work on the show are having a good time, let’s keep doing it," he tells the Associated Press. "We’ve always tried to entertain ourselves and figured that the outside world would be entertained if we were making ourselves laugh." The season premiere has Homer getting caught up with the mob. Recurring guest star Joe Mantegna returns as Fat Tony, and "Sopranos" stars Michael Imperioli and Joe Pantoliano lend their vocal talents as part of the motley mob crew. Other guest voices this season include rockers The White Stripes, "24" leading man Kiefer Sutherland, as well as literary icons Gore Vidal and Tom Wolfe.In other news related to the residents of Springfield, the first ever full-length "Simpsons" feature film has been set for release in July of 2007.

I am so glad that The Simpsons are not ending anytime in the near future as it has been rumored.
