Obituary for Matt Groening’s Mother Sheds Light on Inspiration for ‘The Simpsons’
Matt Groening is the creative genius behind 'The Simpsons.' But one thing he wasn't too creative with was the names of the now iconic four-fingered characters.

We're glad to see we aren't the only ones obsessed with 'Breaking Bad.'
In an all-new promo for FOX's 'The Simpsons,' the famed animated family takes on their version of AMC's 'Breaking Bad.' However, in this one, Heisen-Homer and his beloved wife/cook are taking on the town of Springfiel
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.
Finally, a Harlem Shake video for a new audience! Sunday night's opening couch gag on 'The Simpsons' showed everyone's favorite cartoon family getting in on the Harlem Shake craze. And we definitely count it as a win.
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). But now that Judd Apatow is Judd Apatow, 'The Simpsons' are producing the long lost script, which will air next year.
The Simpsons is not a show that's shy about stuffing gags into every corner of the frame. And, after nearly a quarter century on the air, the show has quite a few signs. Here's a strip of what seems to be the Internet's favorite gags from the beloved show. Fair warning, it's a long image.
In the "weird coincidences" file, we've got this cartoon, which was first published in 1949 in a magazine in Iceland. Yeah, they look fairly similar... but wait until you see the whole cartoon.
This past Sunday’s FOX 25th anniversary celebration was supposed to be a time to rejoice and reflect on the network’s quarter-century history but for Bill O’Reilly, it was another attempt by the liberal media to take a “cheap shot” at FOX News. This time, “The Simpsons” were the offending party and O’Reilly wasn’t having it.
Richie Castellano’s one-man cover of Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is pretty amazing, but Nick McKaig’s take on the theme from ‘The Simpsons‘ is even more impressive since he uses nothing but his voice.
It’s hard to believe ‘The Simpsons’ is about to air the 22nd edition of Treehouse of Horror, the show’s beloved annual Halloween special, this October. Burger King is celebrating the best way they know how with a line of ‘Simpsons’ action figures that come free with the chain’s Kids Meals.
