It may have only taken ten years, but it looks like the playful rivalry between 'The Simpsons' and its sort of spiritual successor 'Family Guy' may finally be put to rest. While both FOX series have taken playful shots at one another over the years, the bridge has finally been built as 'Family Guy' creator and voice-artist Seth MacFarlane will lend his voice to an upcoming 'Simpsons' episode! Who

Exactly 22 years ago, director Judd Apatow ('This is 40,' 'Knocked Up') wrote a script for 'The Simpsons' that was never used (which is not surprising since, at the time, Apatow had no credits and was still a struggling comedian). But now that Judd Apatow is Judd Apatow, 'The Simpsons' are producing the long lost script, which will air next year.

"The Last Peanut" is widely considered one of the classic bits from "The Simpsons". It comes from the fifth season, and it is hilarious. Doubly so when rendered in clay, so enjoy. Maybe watch it with a few peanuts!

It's the day before the election, and the Mitt Romney endorsements are flying in! The first came from Joss Whedon (who strongly believes Romney can jumpstart the zombie apocalypse). This one is from 'The Simpsons' bad guy Mr. Burns (who is the cartoon embodiment of corporate greed)...

The Simpsons is not a show that's shy about stuffing gags into every corner of the frame. And, after nearly a quarter century on the air, the show has quite a few signs. Here's a strip of what seems to be the Internet's favorite gags from the beloved show. Fair warning, it's a long image.

In the "weird coincidences" file, we've got this cartoon, which was first published in 1949 in a magazine in Iceland. Yeah, they look fairly similar... but wait until you see the whole cartoon.

Never fear, ‘30 Rock‘ fans, for Tina Fey certainly won’t be out of work for long when the show begins its final season this fall on NBC.  Instead, Fey will take her signature sensibilities to ‘The Simpsons,’ guesting in the already-crowed 24th season of the long-running series.  But will ‘SNL‘s former funny-lady play herself a la Justin Bieber, or an original character?  And blerg, when will we se

Tom Waits will help Homer Simpson prepare for the end of the Earth on a future episode of ‘The Simpsons.’ The singer has been lined up as a guest voice for a forthcoming Season 24 episode that’s scheduled to air some time in December.

Boy, that Edward Norton sure likes playing priests. From playing a minister in 2000′s ‘Keeping the Faith’ to one of his more famous roles as an altar boy in ‘Primal Fear,’ the ‘Avengers‘ dropout and ‘Bourne Legacy‘ star will once again be taking holy orders, portraying a priest for ‘The Simpsons” upcoming 24th season. But when Edward Norton hits the scene, what will become of Reverend Lovejoy? Rea

Sunday night, ‘The Simpsons‘ payed homage to HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones‘ with an opening that gave Springfield a Westeros-style makeover. The sequence featured all the maps and gears that mark the beginning of a ‘Game of Thrones’ episode and also had ‘Simpsons” characters dressed in medieval garb.

‘The Simpsons,’ that prime time television show we all love, has done the impossible by staying on the air for 22 years and 500 episodes. This exceptional milestone was reached on Sunday evening on Fox. But is it still as good at 500 episodes as it was at 100?

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, fe
