Good thing The Simpsons invested in some new opening credits, because apparently they'll be in use for a while: Fox has renewed the show for two more seasons totaling 44 episodes.
That'll make The Simpsons the longest-running primetime show in TV history with 22 seasons under its belt. But it will have a ways to go before it has the most episodes of any primetime series: Gunsmoke was only on for 20 years (heh, yeah, "only") but produced 635 episodes, while Homer and co.

The Simpsons went HD on Sunday, and with the change came new opening credits for the first time in years. The story is basically the same, though we now know the exact value of Maggie at the supermarket checkout and get to see a few new Springfield characters (actually tons of them, if you freeze-frame at the one-minute mark). Sunday's version was especially long, featuring the family chasing their couch through space, but as far as I know, the couch part of the ending will be changing every week as usual.

Welcome back to my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. Now that Thanksgiving is over it's time to get serious about finding the right gifts, and nothing makes gift-giving easier than knowing TV and movie mega-fans.
It may be because I write about entertainment all the time, or because the show's been on the air longer than some of us can remember, but I feel like I know a lot of Simpsons fans, and they're a fun (and easy) group to find gifts for.

The Simpsons may not be must-see TV for me like it was a few years back, but I still try to make a point of watching the annual Halloween special, the Treehouse of Horror. Even though it usually airs after Halloween (thanks a lot, World Series), it keeps me in the spooky holiday mood with clever horror parodies.
I'm especially excited for this year's (19th!) episode because it includes a takeoff on one of my favorite Halloween traditions: It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Friends, something huge happened on The Simpsons the other night. Yes, Bart Simpson got a cell phone! The episode started off with him being depressed about not having a cell phone (as I'm sure most kids are these days when in the begging process), and then getting one under an unusual — and hilarious — circumstance.

Just listening to The Simpsons intro music makes me happier. But then someone went and did it in Legos. Double happiness!
