Tony Blair is to make a guest appearance on The Simpsons, according to the Daily Star today.
In an episode to be shown later in the current (fourteenth) series, Bart wins a trip to London for him and his family, who are greeted by the PM upon arrival. A Downing Street spokesman denied the reports, however. “We have not received an invitation for Mr Blair to appear in The Simpsons,” he said. “Until we do it’s difficult to comment on this.”

Al Jean just e-mailed me to tell me that last night The Simpsons won the Annie Award for Best Animated Series. Although it isn’t listed anywhere, Al informed me they won for specific episode “Half-Decent Proposal” which they submitted for consideration. Also, he said King of the Hill won for Best Script (“Bobby Goes Nuts”) and Futurama won for Best Directing (“Roswell that Ends Well”). Just goes to show the quality animated programming we’re lucky to have every Sunday night. The Simpsons took home this award last year as well.

In web news, to many fans’ disappointment, Haynes Lee has shut down his truly original Compuglobalhypermega.net site.

“I didn’t expect to be on the air this long,” Groening said at Fox’s winter showcase for critics in California recently. “One of the great things about doing an animated show is your characters don’t age. So your show stays fresh, and you keep the audience fresh. I love ’60 Minutes,’ but the people who make it are starting to look like the people who watch it.”

Upcoming episode: The Strong Arms of The Ma. After Marge gets robbed she decides to “buff up” and get even with her mugger. Febuary. 2nd at 8PM/7C on FOX.
BTW, official airing date of forthcoming 300th episode is 2/16, but unofficially it is 2/2. The unofficial one is the actual 300th episode. When you list all of the episodes in order and count them, the 300th one will air on 2/2. The official one is actually number 301 or 302. It’s because Fox wants to hype and promote it as the 300th episode.
