Joe’s Taxidermy, you snuff ’em, we stuff ’em!— Bart
Fox has released some information for the upcoming episode, Bart Gets a 'Z'. It will air on October 4th.
When Mrs. Krabappel confiscates student’s cell phones, the class, organized by Bart, decides to teach her a lesson by spiking her coffee and watching her make a drunken fool of herself. Principal Skinner fires Mrs. Krabappel and replaces her with a cool new teacher, Zachary Vaughn, who impresses Bart and his friends with a hip attitude and love of texting, blogging and using Twitter and Facebook. Torn by his affection for Mr. Vaughn, yet plagued by guilt, Bart makes his way to Skinner’s office to tell him the truth and get Mrs. Krabappel’s job back.
The winners for the 2009 Creative Arts Emmys - the precursor to the main Emmy ceremony - have been announced.
The Simpsons family have received a cultural makeover by an Angolan advertising agency to promote the show there.
A promotional image has been released for the upcoming Season 21 premiere, Homer the Whopper:
The episode was written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Comic Book Guy creates a superhero called "Everyman", which is turned into a feature film. Homer is cast as the lead, with Seth Rogen playing his personal trainer. The episode airs on September 27.
The Simpsons Complete Twelfth Season was released this week (Tuesday 18th).
The set features Comic Book Guy, with the overall theme being science fiction convention. Unfortunately the set still contains tight sleeves to contain the discs like Season 11 did, giving the potential for discs to get scratched.
The set will be released September 2nd in Australia and September 28th in the UK.
An upcoming Season 21 Simpsons episode will focus on the sport of curling. In the episode (probably titled Rednecks and Broomsticks, though unconfirmed), Homer and Marge form a mixed-doubles curling team with Principal Skinner and his mother, Agnes.
Marge turns out to be a good curler because of her expertise at household chores, while Homer is not very good. Marge must decide whether to risk hurting Homer's feelings by dropping him from the team. Meanwhile, Lisa sets out to collect Olympic pins.
The episode is set to air in February, just before the 2010 Winter Olympics.
More guest stars have been confirmed for The Simpsons' upcoming 21st Season. Comedienne and actress Sarah Silverman will play Bart's new girlfriend, who "alternately loves him and hates him for no reason". In another episode, titled Million Dollar Maybe, Homer wins the lottery and hires Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to play a concert for Bart.
The pop star Michael Jackson has died at the age of 50. Paramedics were called to the singer's home around midday local time on Thursday after he stopped breathing and suffered a suspected cardiac arrest. He was rushed by ambulance to a local medical centre, but his death was announced shortly afterwards.
Say goodbye to boring car journeys! TomTom, the GPS navigation system commonly known as "sat nav" has joined forces with Fox to release a voice module by none other than Homer Simpson.
You have reached your destination. And you can hold your head up high, because you are a genius!
That's right, Futurama has been resurrected once more! Comedy Central has announced they have picked up the series for an impressive 26 new episodes.
Futurama was cancelled in 2003 after the fifth series. However it was revived in 2007 in the form of four straight-to-DVD movies, the last of which released earlier this year. Comedy Central will begin showing the new instalments in mid-2010.
Quipped Matt Groening, "We're thrilled Futurama is coming back. We now have only 25,766 episodes to make before we catch up with Bender and Fry in the year 3000." Added David X. Cohen, "We're excited and amazed that the show is coming back, perhaps due to some sort of mysterious time loop. We look forward to working with Comedy Central and 20th Television to make this the best iteration of the loop yet!"
I've created a new iGoogle gadget! This one is based on our popular Simpsons Dictionary page. Each day it will display a random Simpsons-coined word along with its definition, and in many cases, and appropriate Simpsons quote.
I've been hard at work today creating a Google Gadget. If you have a Google Account (e.g. a Gmail address) then you can customise Google's home page with news feeds and gadgets.
Long time no update (again). I've been travelling in the States for the past 10 weeks - 'twas a great trip!
While in Hollywood I took a trip to Universal Studios and experienced the new Simpsons Ride. If you haven't already been, I thouroughly recommend it. To experience it to its fullest, wait until the line is quite long (at least 40 minutes) and you can catch masses of original animation and classic clips while waiting in line!
More about that coming soon. Today though, we have a really cool content update. The Simpsons has coined many words and phrases that have entered mainstream consciousness. You may already be familiar with d'oh, yoink and embiggen, which are all perfectly cromulent words; but there are many more you may not remember, which we have compiled into a big dictionary.

Apologies for a lack of updates recently. Working a job and going to the pub seems to take up all of my time these days.
I am still working on the movie script and general site maintenance. I also updated Season 9 of our British censorship guide with a few cuts from Channel 4 in The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson that was on just now.
I noticed yesterday that a bunch of links in the new top menu were broken so I've fixed them I hope. If you come across any broken links, feel free to fire an email off to me - contact [at] simpsoncrazy [dot] com.
We've got a brand new page for you! This one is a guide to the U.S. Constitution, Simpsons-style. It was written by Dave Hettel and was hosted elsewhere until Dave decided he didn't have time to maintain it, and generously donated it to us!
Just a mini-update to say a new contest has started, following last week's bumper Halloween special. Six people got all five THOH segments correct!
Take a look at the answers to see if you got it right, and check the leaderboard from the main contest page, where you can of course enter the new Secret Sound.
Since Halloween is just around the corner, we thought we'd put up a few decorations! Hope you like the new look.
Today we also celebrate the return of our regular "Secret Sound" contest! This week it's a bumper Halloween special with 5 clips from Halloween segments.
I've been busy behind the scenes improving the scoreboard script so it's easier for me to mark. Hopefully the contests will be updated more regularly than they used to be.

So... it's been a pretty long time since something happened on this web site. You may have noticed the hints in various posts about a redesign coming to this site. This has been in the works on and off (mostly off) for about three years! Now I've realised that this is gonna get done quicker if I implement it in stages.
Today begins the first phase of what I'm calling the "Simpson Crazy redevelopment". I've started a gradual switch from SHTML pages over to PHP pages, which will provide more flexibility behind the scenes.
I've also uploaded new content layouts for a few pages. These have been sitting on my computer for over a year and they fit into the current site's design so I added them in. Specifically, the main Image gallery page, wallpapers section and Simpsons Comics guide pages have been updated. If you click on a thumbnail you'll get a nice new image viewer where you don't have to leave the page!
Finally, keep your eyes peeled for the return of our regular Simpsons contest very soon!
Yet more wallpapers have been added to the gallery! Most of them come from yet another defunct site, Krustylu Studios and have been remastered so that we can bring you both our standard sizes (1024x768 and 1280x1024).
Huge thanks to Brad for donating them! The one you can see top left was created by me and is from The Springfield Files.
