The Simpsons are back with another holiday-themed DVD! On February 7th, just a week before Valentine's Day, Fox is releasing The Simpsons - Kiss and Tell. This single-disc release comes with 4 episodes:
Tom Wolfe, declared by some to be America's greatest living writer, will appear as himself in an episode on "The Simpsons".
According to The New York Post, the author of such books as "The Bonfire Of The Vanities" recorded his lines in Los Angeles and posed for photos to guide the animators.
Wolfe says that "The Simpsons" is the only show he watches because it doesn't have a laugh track. He said, "I feel like I finally made it."
Russian MPs have given a final warning to TV stations to cut back on violent shows like the Simpsons if they want to avoid censorship.
The move came after the Simpsons was given a hard core adults-only rating and blamed for corrupting Russian schoolchildren and degrading family values.
MP Yelena Afanasyeva said: "The experts gave just the result we feared. They found the Simpsons were crammed with violent and aggressive episodes. These cartoons also introduce antagonism between children and parents."

Tired of the latest iteration of Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge? Worried that your state will pass a law forbidding minors from purchasing games like Bonestorm? Love Billy Graham's Bible Blasters but frustrated by the regrettable omission of the Book of Ruth? Then EA just might have the games for you.
Electronic Arts today will announce that it has secured the rights to make games based on Fox Television's long-running animated show The Simpsons.
Though exact terms of the agreement weren't specified, EA did say that it is a multigame, long-term, and exclusive deal. The games will arrive on next-generation systems.
Expectations for the games are no doubt high, as Vivendi Universal Games and Radical Entertainment showed that a commercially and critically successful game could be made out of the license with 2003's The Simpsons Hit & Run. That game has sold more than 4 million copies across multiple platforms.

Homer Simpson sleeps through church, refers to God as "omnivorous," and once sold his soul to the devil for a doughnut.
But the Rev. Jim Reinarz believes that the animated patriarch has a lot to teach his congregation about Christianity.
"The Simpsons are the most spiritual family on television," said Mr. Reinarz, pastor of First Presbyterian Church-Grand Prairie. "They pray, they talk to God, they deal with everyday problems through their faith – even if it is a little distorted sometimes."
Last Sunday, Mr. Reinarz's Sunday school class began a multiweek series on the faith of Fox's animated family. The group joins Protestant congregations across the country turning to pop culture touchstones such as The Simpsons, Harry Potter and Dr. Seuss to attract members.

What Simpsons fan doesn't remember Two Dozen And One Greyhounds, with its Mr. Burns song-and-dance number, a puppy named Prince, and the Puppy Formerly Known As Prince?
Then there's Bart's Inner Child, with Albert Brooks guest-starring as motivational speaker Brad Goodman, and Lisa On Ice, in which Bart and Lisa play on opposing hockey teams.
Those are just some of the classic episodes directed by Bob Anderson, who has been turning out instalments of the Simpsons for more than a decade.
On Sunday, Anderson will visit Toronto to participate in Simpsons Mania, an annual festival hosted by local gallery Animation Connection. He'll be doing drawing demonstrations, speaking to the crowd, fielding questions and signing dedication cards for artwork purchased at the show. (Homer would be proud to know that the event is being held at the Roundhouse, home of Steam Whistle Brewing.)
