CBS 'Under the Dome' Will Pay Homage to 'The Simpsons'?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 01 May 2013 15:29:29 +0000

The moment CBS announced it would take Stephen King's 2009 thriller 'Under the Dome' to series, certain fans rallied behind a cry of "Simpsons did it" given that the 2007 feature-length adaptation of America's favorite animated family featured a similarly domed premise. Both domes proved mere coincidence, with a 2010 'Simpsons' episode even addressing the similarity, but how will CBS' upcoming summer series pay homage to 'The Simpsons' in turn?

Real Life Bart Simpson Appeared Before a Judge Named Mr. Burns

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:47:31 +0000

Last year a man from England named Bart Simpson was arrested for having a firearm in an airport. Simpson is 56, so you can't blame his parents for giving him the kind of name that would result in ridicule and, eventually, a life of crime. ('The Simpsons' has been on for that long. It only seems like it.)

It was just fate that he ended up with the same name as a cartoon troublemaker. And when his trial began earlier this month fate struck again. Bart Simpson would be facing a judge named Mr. Burns.

'The Simpsons' to Produce 20-Year-Old Script By Judd Apatow

Mike Sampson — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:30:47 +0000

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).
