The 21st season will begin on September 27th, 2009 at 8:00pm with “Homer The Whopper”.
Comic Book Guy casts Homer as the lead in “Everyman,” a feature film based on the new comic book superhero he created. To whip him into shape for the part, the movie studio hires celebrity fitness trainer Lyle McCarthy (guest voice Seth Rogen) but Homer has trouble sticking to his new, healthy regimen.
This episode is co-written by Seth Rogen, and was originally intended to air in season 20.
seth rogen … why dont they use the writters from seasons 14-16 they were the best instead of the new idiots the shows getting worse and worse each episode but im still gonna watch maybe they’ll be funny again
i dont know what your talking about but seth rogens one of the funniest people ever, the episode has to be an improvement from the past
I really think this episode will be good and funny, especially judging from season 20.
This sounds appalling. Aren’t we sick of CBG yet?
This could be very good episode.
It reminds me at same time on the episode when Homer tried to get on top of the Mount Sprinfield, and the episode when Homer gave his voice to the cartoon dog Poochie in Itchy and Scratchy show.
It could be wining combination, I hope that viewers will like it…
This episode sounds different
I can’t wait for it to air!
Yeah, no matter what happens, always Simpsons FAN.
sounds good.
it’s good to see a guest star who we know was a simpsons fan growing up! that’s why i look forward to this and the jonah hill one!
I really wanna season 21 to be good and funny,because to me season 20 wasn’t as funny and good as we wanted,season 8,9,7,6 those were really the best seasons ever in the simpsons,but I think that season 21 would be very funny and good because I think that the staff of the simpsons read the opinions of season 20 and believe me guys they weren’t so good unfortunately,but I still love the simpsons,they rock
@ a simpsons fan
If they’d be listening to the comments they’d have seriously done something different about 10 seasons ago. They’re not going to suddenly turn around and make season 21 as good as the single digit seasons were. Just don’t hold your breath, chances are you won’t be impressed with season 21.
@ Brian- Yeah, nothing special wont happen…
We really had some great seasons back in the 90’s, but this new seasons can only get worst and worst…
That is our sad reality, but I only hope that there will be SOME good episode in this new season worth of watching twice…
I am looking forward to watching it. The plot kinda of attracks me a lot 😀
I know I’m in the minority, but I think the show is as good as ever.
the 20th seaon of the show was great after it started jumping the shark in the other previous seasons, and I look forward to the 21st season. I guess that the bueaty of a cartoon is it can always come back from a terrible season or 2, and Congradulations Matt Groening with all your succes on the Simpsons I hope Futurama is just as succsesful for you as it deserves to be, both shows are brilliant!!
Is anyone here holding a “Season 21 premiere party?” or just getting together with friends to watch it?
On a separate note, does anyone watch it regularly with their family?
Final question: Know anybody who’s NEVER seen the show, or who outright hates it?
I work for a production company that’s putting together something for the 20th Anniversary of the show. Thanks in advance, guys!
Reading all these poorly written post just makes me rememebr the words of my Grandfather, “Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and the same stuff comes out of both.”
How come we had to wait for sooooo long for a new episode to come outÉ its been like what.. 5 months now??
Simpsons still kick @ss after 20 years.
…I really do wish they would go back to making the show with hand painted cells like they did in the 90’s though. I know it would take longer to make the episodes, but I just liked it better that way.
Just because it the newer version of animation, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s better.
Just watch the animation in the clip on the right. It doesn’t have that lame shadowing everywhere. It’s actually REAL animation. It’s something people poured their hearts into making. This CGI or whatever is nothing but a lazy short cut that just ends up making The Simpsons go down a notch.
you know, I hated the Simpsons BEFORE it was cool.
the simpsons rock… who says that they arn;t good,its the best tv show of all time!
to nicolas who said the seasons are only going to get worse and worse i say bullshit. not every season has been as funny as the last, but you can hardly say that the last 10 seasons have all been declining. season 11 and 12 were brilliant
People are too idealistic bobby. They think that every new season gonna bring something big, special, something that gonna astonish us all.
But when new episodes actually come to television, people get disappointed and mad. That’s why I said that we can only hope that new season will bring us episodes witch quality will be at the same level as it was in last season, anything else would be one big surprise for me- This show is very old, but I also hope that they still got enough quality idea to run a flew more seasons.
AWESOME and only 8 days until i can see my most favorite TV show again, which doesn’t get any better because its already at the max imho.
