First and foremost, The Simpsons Movie is very funny. In many ways, it's a perfectly satisfying Simpsons adventure with plenty of gags to keep the laughs rolling on. Thus, as a major summer comedy, this movie is a success.

Now we know which Springfield truly rules them all: Springfield, Vt.! The small town got 15,000 votes in USA Today's Springfields poll and will get to host The Simpsons Movie's July 21 premiere.
The town of 9,300 apparently was too small to be invited into participate in the contest at first and only got involved after seeing a news report and asking to be included.

This week, in the Springfields of America, a great battle is raging: Which town will prove it's worthy of hosting the premiere of The Simpsons Movie on July 27? Fourteen of the nation's Springfields have submitted videos about their towns for a USA Today contest; voting, which is open now and closes July 9, will determine which town wins the premiere.
I have to give these towns some props: While the videos are obviously amateur, they're made with a lot of heart.

After a week of sad season and series finales — I'm still feeling weepy over "Gilmore Girls," "Ugly Betty," and "Grey's" — I'm glad that we have some more lighthearted fare to look forward to tonight as "The Simpsons" wraps up its 18th season. The one-hour finale (actually two separate episodes) starts with a parody of "24," then concludes with the series' whopping 400th episode.
Of the two, I'm most excited about the parody, "24 Minutes," with Kiefer Sutherland and Mary Lynn Rajskub voicing cartoon versions of Jack and Chloe.
