On this Sunday night's Simpsons we get the old band back together -- Blake Griffin, Megan Rapinoe, and brilliant travel host Rick Steves!
Guess who’s guest-starring on the next episode of @TheSimpsons? Tune in this Sunday, May 11, at 8pm (7pm CT) on FOX — or stream it Monday on Hulu. (Look for the episode called “Full Heart, Empty Pool.”) Happy travels, Lisa...and happy dreams, Homer!
Voicing Gabriel Razelton, the great Robert Smigel, legendary comedy writer and the man whose hand and voice is inside Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
We wanted Rick Steves' dreamland to be designed in the style of proto-surrealist Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico.
Just a few posts coming up about tonight's West Coast airing of "Full Heart, Empty Pool." Written by the brilliant Jeff Westbrook (he's also The Simpsons most-educated writer). Directed by the amazing Chris Clements.
Love the composition of this shot, with Young Mr. Burns, Lisa, and her ancestor Edith in the mirror. @TheSimpsons
A lot of the lyrics of this hilarious song just poured out of Dan Castellaneta in the writers room the day we were working on it. Plus he sings it here too! @TheSimpsons
Rough estimates of value. Tiffany lamp, if unbroken: $300,000. Baseball cards -- Honus Wagner: 7.5 million, Babe Ruth: $7,000, Ty Cobb: $504,000 @TheSimpsons
I had sweaters made for all our writers that had the "Little Moose Club" logo along with an image of one of the mini moose. So far not a single person has asked any of us what the logo is about. @TheSimpsons
Great music in this episode from the great @karatalve. @TheSimpsons
Lisa inhabiting the body of her ancestor Edith. I love the look of this show, directed by the hugely talented Michael Polcino. @TheSimpsons
Sometimes for table reads we write "This is a real thing" about something in the show that people might not have heard of. The EMDR tappers are a good example -- real therapy tools. I can only assume they'll also make you time travel.@TheSimpsons
Dr. Chaplet is named for (and designed after) the character Dodo Chaplet in the 1960's Dr. Who. This is one of about two time travel Easter eggs in the show!@TheSimpsons
"The Past and the Furious," an episode I wrote and was co-runner on, premieres today on Disney+! Lisa actually travels back in time, and here to kick it off is a freeze frame screen from the opening. My favorite category: "Fan Infuriators." @TheSimpsons
My next episode of The Simpsons premieres on Feb. 12th, an original just for Disney+! Lisa travels back in time and alters the course of history!
Lisa’s on a race against time to save Springfield! Stream “The Past and the Furious,” an exclusive, full-length episode of The Simpsons, only on #DisneyPlus February 12.
Wine Court inspired by the crazy French trial in the terrific movie Anatomy of a Fall. That movie didn't have a bored-looking courtroom cat in a turtleneck, but should have @thesimpsons
We had various designs of Burns' Vermeer, and ultimately decided the nose ring should closely resemble the original's earring.@thesimpsons
The guy on the far right designed to look like @jlazebnik. The animation camera adds 10 pounds. @thesimpsons
Robert Parker, on the right, inventor of the famous 100 point wine rating scale, voiced himself. I give his performance a 100. See how he judged Andrew Lloyd Webber (on the left) @TheSimpsons @Wine_Advocate
