Season 27 News: Homer will vote in 2016!

Episodes

Homer in 2012Back in 2008, we saw Homer trying to vote in Season 20‘s “Treehouse of Horror XIX” opening segment. He tried to vote for Obama but all his votes went to McCain. And in 2012, he voted for Romney because he invented Obamacare.

Homer in 2008And next year [2016] we’ll see something like that taking place. Showrunner Al Jean has revealed it during an interview with Variety. That is basically the only new information he has given.

Stay tuned for more!

Season 27 News: Sideshow Bob will finally kill Bart!

Episodes, Guest stars, Summaries

BobSideshow Bob started his quest to kill Bart some years ago (In 1990, to be accurate) and he has tried it an uncountable number of times. This fall, he will finally fulfill his lifetime ambition. He will actually kill Bart Simpson. This plot will be one of the segments of this year’s Treehouse of Horror (XXVI). The plot of segment will be that Bob kills Bart and then won’t know what to do with himself after his life’s mission has been accomplished.

Bob trying to murder Bart

The Simpsons‘ showrunner Al Jean told it while at their ATX Festival panel in Austin, Texas, on Saturday. Jean said he always wanted to see the Coyote get the Road Runner in Looney Tunes. So Bob will actually execute Bart.

Remember that this episode (“Treehouse of Horror XXVI“) is a Treehouse of Horror episode, so it will be a “non-canon” episode, which means that the events in the episode don’t take place in The Simpsons‘ timeline, so Bart will be back just after the segment ends.

We all know Maggie did it, this Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday

Yes, today, it’s been 20 years since the first part of the Who Shot Mr. Burns? mystery aired, and the dramatic summer which ensued threw up more wrong answers than not. Interesting factoid, one person actually correctly guessed Maggie the night after broadcast but the show’s producers couldn’t contact them after the summer because they had used a then not-defunct college email address.

Anyway, what happened was this: Mr. Burns brought tons of misery to the town and trying to block the sun out was the last straw, before he tried to take Maggie’s candy and sh- someone shot him, bringing the end to season six.

It was Burns’ shadow… sorry, I’m still thinking it’s the summer of 1995.

Anyway, let’s move on from the tin foil hats and onto a behind-the-scenes look at the Simpsons. Ish.

Duff Beer to get international release

Merchandise


Duff Beer is set to get an international release. The fictional beer has been on sale in The Simpsons parts of Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando. Now 20th Century Fox plans on releasing the beer for sale over the US and Europe.

Jeffery Godsick, the Consumer Products president of 20th Century Fox, said in an interview with the Irish Sun that “You will enjoy it at home and eventually at bars. We are treating this as real beer, not a novelty.”

In the past, Matt Groening has expressed worry at Duff going for sale as it could promote drinking among kids, as a huge amount of children watch the show.

The Harry Shearer Situation

Miscellaneous


This post will be updated with any news when we get it



You’ve most likely heard by now that Harry Shearer‘s future with The Simpsons is in doubt. He has announced that he has left the show, but is willing to return if he is given more freedom to do what he wants outside of The Simpsons. However, the producers have said that he has that freedom, and they don’t know what the problem is.

He wasn’t forced out of the show, and it’s not a case of money causing him to leave. He got offered the same contract the other main cast members got offered, and they all signed on May 1st. The contract he was offered is estimated to have been for $14 million over the 2 seasons.

In an interview with CNN Money, Shearer said “Stay tuned” when asked if there was a possibility he could be back. This might mean he’s willing to go back into negotiations, although it’s unlikely the contract will change.

If Shearer does not return to the show, his characters will be recast to different actors. It’s estimated that they have the Summer to get a deal made to keep him on the show and after that, they’ll have to look for new actors.
