‘The Simpsons’ wins a 2020 Peabody Award!

Miscellaneous, Site news

homerpeabodyaward

The Simpsons has won a 2020 Peabody Institutional Award. It’s the second time the show wins a Peabody Award, the first time being in 1997.

The show has been awarded a 2020 Peabody Institutional Award for making a “significant impact on programming and the cultural landscape.”

“‘The Simpsons’ is one of television’s sharpest critics—as brilliant a child as the show’s conscience and mastermind Lisa. But it is also one of its medium’s funniest and most delightful offerings. In one episode, Homer thumps his television angrily, demanding that it be funnier. For answering Homer’s call for 30 years, we commend the writers, animators, and cast of ‘The Simpsons’ with a Peabody Institutional Award.”

Because of the COVID19 pandemic, this year’s award ceremony has been canceled, so many recipients filmed acceptance speeches, Homer being among them (as shared by EW.com):

Old episodes of ‘The Simpsons’ are now available in 4:3 on Disney+!

Episodes, Miscellaneous


The Simpsons have been available to stream on Disney+ since Disney’s streaming service was launched back in November 2019 in the US (and since late March 2020 in Europe and most of the world).

However, all the episodes of Seasons 1 to 19 (plus the first 9 episodes of Season 20) have been available to watch only in a cropped 16:9 aspect ratio instead of their original 4:3 ratio, and that caused some complaints since there are plenty of visual jokes that got cropped. Disney said in late 2019 they were planning to fix the aspect ratio in the near future.

And now, 6 months later, the issue has been fixed and the old episodes of the show can finally be watched in their original 4:3 aspect ratio. To do so, the user has to go into the “details” tab on the program’s page and turn off “remastered aspect ratio”.
