A new site called Springfield A&M has opened. This site provides both multimedia and informative content, and their design is quite unique. Although there is not much content there currently, the owner says there is much to come. This site looks very promising in my eyes, and is very much needed due to all of the current sites closing their doors due to C&D’s and loss of interest.

Doh! Why We Still Love Em’
Citizen Times: At first, 32-year-old photographer Bo Post didn’t want to go on the record badmouthing “The Simpsons.” “If I tell you my name and that I don’t like The Simpsons, I’m going to get nasty phone calls because most everyone watches it,” she said. At 8:00 on November 3, a good deal of fans will be sitting down for the annual Halloween episode, which unofficially kicks off the show’s 14th season. The official premiere runs Nov. 10.

It is almost a rule that the quality of long-running television shows swirls down the toilet after three or four seasons. Not the Simpsons. The half hour animated show is a clasic, a staple that has remained as true to its roots and is as ingeniously funny today as it was when the Simpson family first appeared in 1987. Now the show opens its 14th season Sunday with its 13th Halloween episode. Read More >>>

Planet Hype and The Simpsons Oddyssey are back on the net as one megasite known as Viva Los Simpsons. The site’s design is like a cross between the two sites and all of its content has been merged, creating many sections filled with all the best information and multimedia. Glad to see sites opening rather than closing. This one will be a hit. Check it out.
