Heres Some Homer Pics

Two Emmy Nominations for The Simpsons By Don Del Grande (ddelgran@snpp.com) - July 22, 2003 Once again, The Simpsons is nominated for Outstanding Animated Program (Less Than One Hour) Emmy Award. 14th season episode “Three Gays of the Condo” is up against Matt Groening's Futurama (“Jurassic Bark”), As Told by Ginger (“And She Was Gone”), Kim Possible (“Crush”) and SpongeBob SquarePants (“New Student Starfish / Clams”). Under new Emmy rules, only 14 producers, 3 writers, and 4 directors can be nominated for each show in the Animated Program categories. Something tells me the 30+ people receiving Emmy statues every time The Simpsons won in the past has something to do <font color="Black">with this.Not to mention that the Simpsons is the longest running animated cartoon on television right now. <br>The fourteenth season of The Simpsons wrapped up on May 18, almost certainly marking the last new episode until November. When eventually hitting the TV screens, season 15 will feature several episodes that have caused early buzz in the media. The family will be visiting Europe for the first time (only Bart has been to France) in an episode entitled “The Regina Monologues” which is set to be the first post-Halloween episode of the season. The show will feature several British guest stars including Prime Minister Tony Blair, actor Ian McKellen and Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling. Soccer (or, football) star David Beckham will not make an appearance in the episode, as he was apparently deemed not famous enough for The Simpsons. The plot involves Homer having an incident with Queen Elizabeth II. Likely airing prior to that, the 14th “Treehouse of Horror” episode will feature Jerry Lewis as professor Frink's father in the segment entitled “Frinkenstein.” Jennifer Garner, who plays agent Sydney Bristow in Alias, will appear as herself in the same episode, which also includes a Clockstoppers spoof starring Bart and Milhouse. Another episode that has had some media exposure is “The Fat and the Furriest,” in which Homer gets attacked by a bear and is declared a coward by the media. Also in season 15, Lisa becomes class president in an “Evita” parody, Krusty's once long lost father Rabbi Krustofsky returns, and Principal Skinner and Bart's teacher Edna Krabappel make their vows. Additionally, Mr. T will have a guest spot. For the last few years, The Simpsons seasons have premiered in November (rather than September) and lasted only for seven months, until the second half of May. The shorter season decreases the number of repeats and also means that unless Fox decides to air another “summer original” before the official season premiere, we'll have to wait six months until we see any of this. As reported earlier, the show will carry on at least until the end of season 16, ie. May 2005. Al Jean continues as the show runner in the upcoming season.
