We've heard quite a bit about 'The Simpsons'' twenty-fifth season, from its rich vein of celebrity guest stars, to the 'Homeland' parody that gripped this past Sunday's premiere, but is the spectre of death once again lurking about Springfield?

FOX has officially joined the ranks of broadcast networks to release their fall 2013-2014 premiere schedule, leaving ABC the lone holdout.

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.

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' up

While Peggy Olson is pretty much killing it these days on the new season of 'Mad Men,' Elisabeth Moss will suffer a bit of a setback on the next cycle of 'The Simpsons.'
