Many rumors have been circulating that Homer and Marge Simpson are going to be, heaven forbid, separating during the upcoming 27th season of Fox’s The Simpsons.
We’ve all been hearing for years about the decline of DVD and Blu-ray sales. And while there’s hasn’t been any doubt about the popularity and convenience of streaming services and digital downloads over physical discs, it still hit us pretty hard to learn that Fox will no longer be releasing any further seasons of The Simpsons on physical media.
FXX Network (the spin-off of the FX Network) has started showing a continuous marathon of The Simpsons. Over a 12-day period from August 21st to September 1st, FXX will show every single episode of the long-running animated series, along with The Simpsons Movie from 2007. That means all 522 episodes (plus the movie) will play over 278 continuous hours.
Acclaimed French animator and director Sylvain Chomet (The Triplets of Belleville, The Illusionist) has created a new couch gag for The Simpsons in his own inimitable style. Check it out after the jump…

Last Friday, Marcia Wallace passed away leaving behind an impressive career and millions of adoring fans. From her early success as Carol Kester on The Bob Newhart Show to her 25 year run on The Simpsons as everyone’s favorite fourth grade teacher, Edna Krabappel. Wallace was 70 at the time of her passing.
Way back when in The Simpsons‘s thirteenth season, an episode titled Gump Roast (DABF12 for those in the know), ended with the catchy tune They’ll Never Stop The Simpsons, which was merely a clever exercise in self-deprecation on a show that, 13 years in, was still quite beloved. Nearly 12 years later that song has turned quite prophetic as FOX has just renewed the entire town of Springfield for one more season.
On September 29th, 2013, America’s favorite family will be hitting the quarter century mark as The Simpsons begins its 25th season. Across the previous 24 seasons, the coveted celebrity guest spot has become almost as synonymous with the show as the Simpsons themselves. With the upcoming season just a few months away, EW.com has revealed that among the upcoming guest stars will be the return of “The Boy Who Lived” himself, or at least the actor that portrays him, Daniel Radciffe.
