Season 3 DVD Outlook

An online chat with Peter Staddon of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment held on Monday saw the first details of The Simpsons Season 3 DVD revealed. In the chat held at Home Theater Forum, Staddon said “Simpsons does take a long time to develop, but you have to realise that Matt and Jim are very involved in the productions and they don’t have a lot of free time with getting the show out. Season 3 will probably be out in May 2003! I know, we would like to get it out earlier as well, but it is shaping up to have some really cool material on it.”

Staddon is asked again about the Simpsons DVD’s and once again stresses that “there is already some very cool stuff on the discs that will make season 3 much better.” To read the full chat transcript, click here. Thanks to Jouni for the link.

Make Way For The Osbournes

The Simpsons could have some tough rivals on their hands. The cult reality TV show The Osbournes is being turned into a Simpsons-like cartoon comedy series. Sources report the network are eager to establish the format in view of Ozzy’s wife Sharon’s current battle with cancer. The source reveals that the program producers believe the family perfectly matches the characters in the Simpsons – with Ozzy and Sharon as Homer and Marge, whereas Kelly is tipped for a Bart type role. Ozzy has already appeared animated in shows such as The Simpsons (pictured) and South Park. Read More >>>

Replacement Hunt Continues

UK: A select group of BBC entertainment executives has been on a week-long brainstorming summit with the aim of creating new shows for key schedule slots. The pressure is on to find BBC 2 a sure-fire replacement for The Simpsons and BBC 1 a weekday regular that can hold its own against rivals. BBC 2 lost the rights to its 6pm incumbent, The Simpsons, to Channel 4 earlier this year. BBC commissioning executives are briefing producers on the lessons of The Simpsons – “It has attitude; it’s for kids and adults; it’s entertainment and escapism; it resolves within one episode”. To find another show that can provide all this is not easy! Read More >>>

Time Stops In Springfield

What is the secret to the success of The Simpsons? The show has managed to outlast countless numbers of television shows and still has one of the strongest fan bases ever. The Simpsons has what other shows do not. The ability to slow time. Maggie’s still sucking her pacifier, Lisa has her sax and Bart will forever be a rule-breaking elementary-school rebel. Malcolm In The Middle is not a cartoon. And that was made even more apparent this season than any other. The cast of Malcolm is not going to make it 14 years and probably not even seven before outgrowing their roles. Read More>>>

Ratings: OFF Shafts Miners

It was close, but the Pennsylvania miners wound up besting the Martin & Lewis story in Sunday’s battle of the 9-11 p.m. original telefilms. And for all the sweep specials, Fox’s 8 p.m. mainstay, The Simpsons, was still the most-watched program overall on Sunday. Simpsons combined with an NFL overrun helped Fox win the night in the adults 18-49 demo (a 5.9 rating/14 share), while ABC prevailed in viewers (15.6 million), according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research. Simpsons averaged 17.5 million viewers and a 7.9/18 in adults 18-49, which carried the day for Fox despite the significant slide registered at 8:30 p.m. by “King of the Hill” (13.1 million, 5.9/13) and at 9 p.m. by “Malcolm in the Middle” (9.9 million, 4.2/9).

Crashing And Burning

Last week on November 14th we reported that Simpsons Skateboarding for Playstation 2 is in stores. Before you RUSH out and purchase a copy, you might want to read what IGN had to say about the game. Scoring the all-embarassing grade of 2.5 out of 10, it would appear that Simpsons Skateboarding has crashed and burned just one week after hitting the stores. The final word given by reviewer David Smith is: “Not fun, and not funny. Thus, this game fails on both levels — Simpsons and skateboarding.” I guess a good Simpsons game was too much to ask for.
