The Simpsons Movie

girish writes "Eonline is reporting that, finally, after more than 10 years since Matt Groening said that a Simpsons film 'is way down the line', a movie based on The Simpsons is being made. It's still in its early stages and is being planned to be debuted in the summer or during Christmas time of 2006. The Simpsons has been on FOX for 15 seasons and averages 12.9 million viewers this season."

And homer jumps a shark on a unicycle

Ahhh, the definitive "Jump the Shark" moment.

Now we know The Simpsons is nearing cancellation. How long do snows normally last after a movie is made?

It'll be sad to see the show go, but I won't be crying too hard, as it's been a few years since I watched it regularly. The "Side Show Bob Steals a Nuke" episode was the end for me.

you mean phil hartman.

Jumping the shark? They can't!

Homer has already jumped the shart -- DABF12 -- Gump Roast. They show him literally jumping the shark. Groening and company know how to make fun of themselves, and that's just an inside reference for those of us that notice those things.

And the fact that I knew exactly which episode it happened in, and only had to look at snpp.com to find the ep. ## scares me...

You mean Phil Hartman, I hope. We could do without a schlocky version of "Free Ride" as a grand finale.

Erm, isn't the irony in that song, the fact that none of the things she sings about are in fact, ironic? ...

Or am I simply giving ms Morissette way too much credit?
