Canoe.ca: As any fan knows, Homer can’t get no satisfaction. The same can’t be said of Joel Cohen, the Calgary writer who has helped put the “Doh!” in the animated icon’s mouth for three years now.

It’s difficult not to take “The Simpsons” for granted. It’s been around since 1989, when it was launched as a Christmas special. It’s the oldest current comedy on prime-time television, and the seventh-oldest series, period. Read More >>
