Last fall, Marcia Wallace, the voice of Bart Simpson's teacher Edna Krabappel, passed away just shy of her 71st birthday after a long battle with breast cancer. On Sunday, Wallace's character Mrs. Krabapple made her final appearance on the show, and the tribute was predictably sweet and sad. » 3/11/14 12:10pm 3/11/14 12:10pm

Last night on The Simpsons, the show used its weekly chalkboard gag to pay tribute to Marcia Wallace, the voice artist behind Springfield Elementary's fourth grade teacher (and crank with a heart of gold) Edna Krabappel. » 11/04/13 11:10am 11/04/13 11:10am

Oh sad. 'The Simpsons' will air a special tribute episode in memory of Marcia Wallace tonight, but not the one we originally thought. Apparently, plans to air 'Bart the Lover,' arguably one of the best episodes of the entire series, were scrapped due to technical issues. » 11/03/13 3:10pm 11/03/13 3:10pm

Match.com enthusiast Martha Stewart cannot, for the life of her, remember why she didn't try to go down to Pound Town back in her days as a preppy young thing who worked at a pastry shop outside a Ralph Lauren store in Connecticut and occasionally sold Hubbell Gardner scones or whatever.

Remember way back on Tuesday night when the former White House turd blossom wouldn't admit the Republicans had lost the presidential election, long after his fellow Fox News correspondents were like, "Obama won. Get it together, dude"? Well, merely six days later, mean Humpty Dumpty is being dealt another blow, this… » 11/12/12 10:50am 11/12/12 10:50am

One of the biggest issues of the upcoming election is how many states are enacting voter ID laws that make it increasingly difficult for people without driver's licenses to vote. While lawmakers assert that this is to prevent voter fraud, the more cynical (or thoughtful) among us speculate that the laws are designed… » 9/21/12 12:40pm 9/21/12 12:40pm

Look, I know this was posted earlier in the week, but isn't it sweet enough to watch again and again? And Lisa is not having it.

If any of you are still watching, Lady Gaga will be on the 2,547 season finale of The Simpsons this Sunday, appearing as a (more) cartoonized version of herself who, recognizing a little monster in Lisa, sets out to help the smartest Simpson out of her slump. Here's a pretty charming behind-the-scenes look at her… » 5/17/12 4:50pm 5/17/12 4:50pm

First they came for Barbie, and now they're coming for Bart Simpson. Iran has apparently had it with American toys that promote (admittedly crappy) values. It is now banning dolls based on Bart and the rest of his famous family. Mohammad Hossein Farjoo, who runs the agency that oversees what toys Iranian children can… » 2/07/12 10:00am 2/07/12 10:00am

Last night's episode of The Simpsons featured Homer being trained for his new job in ad sales at the power plant by none other than Roger Sterling himself. Okay, actually, it was a Simpsonized version of a modern day Mad Men sales guy who happened to be voiced by John Slattery. Still, for those of us who are… » 11/28/11 6:20pm 11/28/11 6:20pm

Last night's Simpsons dove into the world of fiction writing in an episode titled "The Book Job." Lisa was disgusted with Homer's periodical of choice — JetSki Wanter magazine — which was written by a committee of writers. So Homer got the idea to gather Springfield's best and brightest and work on a YA novel! The… » 11/21/11 5:20pm 11/21/11 5:20pm

Simpsons: The XXX Parody is a hardcore, live-action—in which its stars "cum to life"—imagining of Springfield orgies featuring yellow-skinned actors. We have nothing against porn, but sexualizing a cartoon we've been watching since childhood makes us uncomfortable. » 1/12/11 11:30am 1/12/11 11:30am
