Hey Simpson fans, Season 13 has come to an end with the episodes getting funnier each time. We can't wait to see what they've got planned for Season 14. Here's what's on tonight (yes! it's not Sunday)Homer becomes Springfield's top cop in this season finale, an episode that draws inspiration from both The Sopranos and High Noon. The latest addition to Homer's résumé (recited by Mr. Simpson in a litany of past labors) comes on the heels of a heat wave that sparked a riot. The incident (in which Homer played an inadvertent role) exposes the inadequacies of Chief Wiggum and his men. Losing all confidence in the local constabulary, Homer forms his own security company — SpringShield — which subsequently replaces the police when the mayor catches Wiggum in yet another embarrassing situation. But the new chief is quickly tested when he runs afoul of mobster Fat Tony (Joe Mantegna).
