NOTE: This is not an actual reveal of how the Lost finale ended last night.
Turns out Donald Trump wasn’t the only TV personality vying for our attention Sunday evening.
In hopes of keeping people tuned in for their show’s finale, the folks behind The Simpsons managed to work in a a little “spoiler” during the intro for their show. Their amusing reference to the 4.5-hour long Lost extravaganza can be seen written on the board in the image above.
This is, of course, not the first time Bart Simpson has written about another program in chalk. Back in April, the FOX series wrote words of “support” to their colleagues at South Park.

If you caught the opening of The Simpsons on Sunday night, you saw the network show throw a little love toward their animated cable channel brethren - courtesy of Bart Simpson’s running opening gag.
On the ever-changing school chalkboard, Bart delivered a clear message to the South Park creators, who received death threats last week following a controversial episode of the series.
The message from The Simpsons? “South Park - We’d stand beside you if we weren’t so scared.” Classic.

Simpsons to Become Universal Ride
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX,
How cool is this? Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood will have a Simpsons-inspired theme park ride in Spring 2008. The Simpsons, which has been on the air forever and continues to be one of Fox’s biggest hits, seems a likely amusement park ride. The characters of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson will all be on hand as visitors ride along and experience the town of Springfield. According to reports, the ride is a fantasy of Krusty the Clown, showing guests of the park his interpretation of thrill rides and live shows. Universal’s team, along with The Simpsons Creator and Executive Producer Matt Groening and Executive Producer James L. Brooks, will work to create the attraction, with the original voice talent providing the character’s voices. Said Groening of the ride experience, “The ride is designed to duplicate the Simpsons home-viewing experience, only at high speed and with lots of screaming.”

Simpsons Keeps on Going
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Animation, Prime Time, FOX, Renewals,
Would you believe that The Simpsons is entering its 18th season? Would you also believe that series’ creator Matt Groening expects it to continue even longer? With no shortage of funny stories for this animated family, the series continues to be a ratings and award winner (it recently earned its 23rd Emmy). What’s more, a film version of everyone’s favorite family is expected to hit the big screen next summer. This is one show that keeps chugging.
Said Groening, “My attitude at this point is, as long as the people who work on the show are having a good time, let’s keep doing it. We’ve always tried to entertain ourselves and figured that the outside world would be entertained if we were making ourselves laugh.” Working on The Simpsons sounds like a dream job. Groening also noted that the fresh stories continue because “there’s a really good-natured spirit of competitiveness among the youngest writers on the staff who basically grew up watching the show and have a great memory for everything that’s gone before.”
Fox has renewed the series through its 19th year, so the legendary cartoon will keep going yet another year. The Simpsons season premiere will air Sunday, with Homer having a “brush with mob life.” The 400th episode of the show will air in May, spoofing Fox’s 24 and featuring vocal contributions from Kiefer Sutherland and Mary Lynn Rajskub.
