We're glad to see we aren't the only ones obsessed with 'Breaking Bad.'
In an all-new promo for FOX's 'The Simpsons,' the famed animated family takes on their version of AMC's 'Breaking Bad.' However, in this one, Heisen-Homer and his beloved wife/cook are taking on the town of Springfiel
After “revealing“ that America’s favorite yellow family The Simpsons hail from the town of Springfield, Oregon last week, creator Matt Groening was quick to retract his statement. So to put matters to rest, the latest episode of ‘The Simpsons’ latched on to the fervor over Springfield’s actual location with its opening sequence chalkboard gag.
What state is ‘The Simpsons‘ hometown of Springfield in? Not only has that been one of TV’s biggest mysteries, but it’s been a long-running joke, as the animated show has teased revealing Springfield’s location numerous times but never has.
Now, the mystery has been solved.
As any fan of ‘The Simpsons‘ knows, Bart can be seen at the beginning of every episode writing on Ms. Krabappel’s blackboard. But after 23 seasons of the long-running cartoon, it can be difficult to keep all of Bart’s chalkboard mantras straight. Fortunately, CableTV.com has gathered them all in honor of the show’s 500th episode.
When we heard about ‘The Simpsons’ Ultimate Fan Marathon Challenge, in which ‘Simpsons’ fanatics would compete to see who could watch all 500 episodes of Springfield’s finest in a row, we said it couldn’t be done. Eighty-six hours and 37 minutes of continuous TV watching without any sleep just seemed too much for any human to endure, even though ‘Simpsons’ fans are made of strong stuff (and also beer and doughnuts).
It turns out we were wrong.
In one corner, we have ‘Family Guy,’ the series starring the Griffin family that skyrocketed creator Seth MacFarlane into fame and fortune and paved the way for fellow animated hits ‘American Dad’ and ‘The Cleveland Show.’
In the other, we have ‘The Simpsons,’ the long-running show that introduced Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and the rest of the Springfield gang. At 23 seasons and counting, few shows have provided more laughs.
So, which show is better? It’s time for you to decide once and for all in our poll below.
America’s First Dysfunctional Family has the biggest affection for Halloween, since it happens during sweeps. But it also has taken on the most wonderful time of the year more than once, so we thought we’d present a few fun ‘Simpsons’ GIFs and videos to celebrate the season. Or at least be honest about it. (WARNING: Animated holiday merriment below.)
Marge Simpson thought it was unfair when Barbara Bush labeled ‘The Simpsons‘ “the dumbest thing I had ever seen” during an interview the then-First Lady did in 1990.
So Marge wrote Barbara a letter in which she explained that she was “deeply hurt” by the criticism, and that she wasn’t sure why Bush hadn’t given her family “the benefit of the doubt.”
