This year’s Comic Con will once again see the cast of The Simpsons showcasing the upcoming year’s season to a world audience. This time around, it will be season 21.
The panel for The Simpsons will take place on Saturday, July 25th, 2009 at 1:45pm. Here’s what Fox has to say about what we can expect from the panel:
Now entering its record-breaking 21st season on the air, The Simpsons is the longest-running series in the history of American television, and a household name around the world. Get a behind-the-scenes look at what’s coming up in the Simpsonverse, including never-before-seen highlights from the upcoming “Treehouse of Horror XX”, with a panel including Simpsons Creator Matt Groening, Showrunner Al Jean, Executive Producer Matt Selman and Supervising Director Mike Anderson.
Now that Futurama is back in production, it will also see representation at the convention:
1-1:45 PM: Life or Death?! BE A PART OF SCI-FI HISTORY! Join Executive Producers Matt Groening and David X. Cohen, and stars Billy West, Katey Sagal, John DiMaggio and Maurice LaMarche for high-stakes thrills as a top-ranking Fox executive decides live, on stage, whether Futurama will make yet another triumphant return, or whether it is gone forever! The very fate of Futurama hangs in the balance! Paramedics will be standing by in case the intense excitement causes any panelists to collapse. Raucous celebration or abject despair to follow the news.
The convention will begin on Friday, July 24th at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California, and will run through to Sunday July 26th.
i think that the upcoming season of the simpsons will be great, and i hope futurama will also have a great comeback. Can’t wait to see what happens
Hey Andy, we’ve linked to your site from ours, would you mind linking to our website?
I think that next season of the Simpsons will be crucial for the future of the show, and I really hope that it will bring a lot of great episodes.
Futurama, the show that will make brand new come-back on TV sky, got very nice chance to make a big success. We can only hope that the quality of the new season is as good as it used to be at the earlier seasons when Futurama was a real hit.
All of all we gonna have really hot TV September this year! 😀
I can’t wait until Season 21!
i went it was really good.
I hope Season 21 can really fix some of the problems of the last season. Since the switch to HD, the animation has gone all wonkey. I still miss the hand-drawn animation and how sterile the show felt when it first switched to computers sometime in the late-teens, but the switch to HD really made the show look uncared for by it’s own teams. The animation was going off-model more than the 3rd season.
I give credit to the writers, as they were obviously trying to get back to some of the old flavor of the older storylines instead of the constant zaniness that some of the recent seasons have had. Overall season 20 felt a bit of a bust, especially with the HD switch.
I’ll still always watch the show, but I find myself laughing less and less.
I don’t think the show has declined, so I’m looking forward to season 21.
