Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show, will be voicing himself in an upcoming episode of The Simpsons, along with Dan Rather.
Timed with the release of the movie on DVD, several special Xbox 360 consoles have made their way on to eBay. The official boxes, from a batch of only 100 made, comprise of Homer's face on a yellow background, with The Simpsons Movie logo on the side. The controller is also yellow.
UK shopping giant Woolworths has signed a lucrative deal to promote The Simpsons Movie, due out on DVD Monday.
Matt Groening will redraw the store's puppet sheep and dog ad stars, Wooly and Worth, in Simpsons style.
Store fascia at 200 sites will be changed so the double 'o' in Woolworths is replaced by doughnuts - Homer Simpson's favourite treat.
Five Woolworth stores will be completely 'Simpsonised' by replacing the traditional red frontages with the cartoon's famous yellow, with life-size Homer and Bart Simpsons on hand. The coup is reckoned to be worth £5million to Woolworths.
Fox, which makes The Simpsons, transformed 12 North American 7-Elevens into real-life Kwik-E-Marts in July when The Simpsons Movie was first released.
The Futurama straight-to-DVD movie, titled Bender's Big Score was released yesterday! This is the first of four movies: the others are
The Beast with a Billion Backs, Bender's Game and The Wild Green Yonder.
The 'other show' by Simpsons creator Matt Groening was axed in 2003 but gained popoularity through DVD sales and re-runs on Comedy Central.
The Simpsons Game has been released on Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and 2, Sony PSP and Nintendo DS.
(We're a bit late posting this news, but here it is.)
EA's forthcoming The Simpsons game parodies 30 years of videogaming and gaming IPs, but there are games companies that have refused to see the funny side of things.
Cartoon Network [adult swim] viewers were surprised and astonished this weekend when the network aired the uncensored version of the recent Family Guy episode "Movin' Out (Brian's Song)".
During the scene where Lois and Brian talk about whether or not Brian should move in with Jillian, a fake advertisement for The Simpsons with Marge appears on the bottom of the screen. Quagmire walks in and tries to rape Marge. Marge runs offscreen with Quagmire following her with his pants down. After Lois and Brian finish talking, Marge and Quagmire return while Marge exclaims how wonderful sex with Quagmire was; Quagmire suggests going to Marge's house for "round two." (Offscreen), Quagmire finishes having sex with Marge at The Simpson home, but then kills the entire Simpson family after they walk in on them (also offscreen). This scene was cut from the Fox airing, but aired on Global in Canada and on Adult Swim in the United States. The version shown on Fox cut abruptly to commercial prior to the scene referencing The Simpsons. US viewers can watch this on repeats of the episode on [adult swim] or wait for the Season 6 DVD.
A new 27 minute previews of the new Simpsons Game has been released. PC World has written up a blogged review of it.
"Otherwise it seems like your average team-driven action game draped in friendly Simpsons pastiche. Play as Bart and you can shoot with a slingshot, switch to Bartman and float or hover on updrafts with your cape, or grab a power-up helmet to become RoboBart and fire lasers. Play as Homer and you can morph into a gigantic rolling ball of flab, or inhale a bunch of helium to float. You power up using electricity, oddly enough, which can unleash "super" attacks if you hold down each character's ability button, and you can switch between characters easily by tapping the d-pad (the game auto-controls your team member, though it unfortunately tends to leave them doddering in the line of fire)."
"I know it's just the demo, and the prospect of exploring Springfield and interacting with 170 series characters through 16 episodes in the final (due 10/30) still sort of has my interest. Plays as all four characters (and Maggie in special sequences)? Use Marge to "nag" NPCs with a megaphone? Matt Groening (the series creator) as a boss at the end of the game?"

Season 16 starts this Sunday in the US, with the annual Treehouse of Horror episode...the fifteenth, in fact. And there's some nice-sounding episodes coming up too! Check out the Episode Guide where we've added a new Season 16 page. We will try and keep this updated as the Season progresses. And don't forget to go to the members section after a new episode airs to share your thoughts and to rate the episode!
Along the same lines I have added promotional images for two upcoming episodes: one for Treehouse of Horror XV and three from All's Fair In Oven War.
I have added some cool audio clips to the members section, from Inside The Actors Studio: The Simpsons. I have also reorganised the main page of the section, since it looked a little confusing before.
And just for fun, I've decided to post the top five episodes as rated by members:
1. Trilogy of Error
2. Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)
3. You Only Move Twice
4. Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment
5. Bart vs. Australia
If you have not rated many episodes, now is your chance! The more ratings we have, the more accurate the list will be, and it only takes two minutes to do.
Along the same 'interactive' route, the contests are updated again. The previous answers were Homer: Bad Man for the Secret Sound and Lord Thistlewick Flanders for Which Character.
A new list has been added to the info section: Quick-Talking Voiceovers. It lists all those hilarious add-ons to commercials and the like, check it out!
I have also updated the contests. It seems that the previous ones were a little difficult, not many people got them right: they were "The Springfield Files" (secret sound) and Jamshed (character). Check out the new contests in the interactive section.
Ooh, this is a goodun! To start, we have a brand new, never-before-seen contest here at Simpson Crazy: Secret Sound. What you have to do is download a small sound bite, listen to it and say what episode it comes from. This contest replaces the Guess The Episode contest, but the Which Character? contest is still on-going.
The marking of the contests is now semi-automatic - I check each and every submission, but instead of having to copy-paste names onto the scoreboard or find names and move them, it's all done automatically. You must provide an email address for validation purposes, but don't worry, it won't be displayed anywhere on the site. Because of the changes, the scoreboards have been reset (you can view the old scoreboard here).
Go to the interactive page for more details and to play. Have fun!
A new script for The Springfield Files has been added, and there's more on the way soon. We also have four new pictures in the gallery, which can be seen by clicking the "More/Comment" link below.
Finally, there are two new wallpapers in the gallery, and I have modified another one (I wasn't totally happy with it). I also want to highlight a couple of others which were added with the merger but not posted, because I really like them (the Homer/Maggie one is on my desktop right now). Click "More/Comment" for details.
The Simpson Crazy member section is now open! If you used to visit D'oheth you'll know what it's about. You can rate and review EVERY Simpsons episode, use the special Quick-Rate feature to rate them all in one go.
After signing up, you will see on the main page a list of the Top 20 episodes according to member ratings. The more episodes you rate, the more accurate this will be. You can also see the master list of EVERY episode ranked in order!
Due to new restrictions in details (usernames/passwords etc), all previous members at D'oheth will have to sign up again. However, I do have all the reviews from the old database saved, so if you posted a lot of reviews, I can send them to you so you can add them back in. Just email me your username (and your old one if it was different).
Click here to go to the members section. Have fun!
Hey fans, you may see some changes in the next few weeks on the site. Nothing too major but minor details like new headers and the biggest addition of the Members Section which will replace the Media link on the top Menu bar. Scott and I are working on a few more ideas so keep your eyes peeled as these small changes occur here and there. Enjoy the site.
Our Simpsons Comics guide has been updated and expanded with LOTS more information. Each comics now has a story listing, and info about comics sold in the UK has also been added. You can check it out here.
Also the contests have been updated. The scores from the final one at D'oheth have been added, and the ones from the first contest here will be up shortly. The contests should now be updated about once a fortnight, depending on how busy I am. Have fun!
Hey hey! My name is Scott, a new addition to the staff here at Simpson Crazy. I used to own my own site called "D'oheth!" but we decided to merge our sites, thus creating a bigger and better super-Simpsons site!
The menu for the new content is on the left. If you were a regular at D'oheth, you will recognise much of the it from there, but there are also a lot of new additions and greater organisation. Hit "continue" below for full details.
