Simpsons DVD Season 11 Standard Art - With Krusty August 5th, 2008 SOURCE: Simpsons Park COMMENTS () The mystery of the Season 11 DVD standard packaging continues, as we've yet to see an official box art for the United States. Simpsons Park have today shown the French cover which was provided by Fox. This one ties in with the limited edition packaging, unlike the previously leaked Homer cover. Since two Australian stores are now showing the previously revealed Homer packaging in a slip case, we're assuming this may be exclusive Region 4 packaging. Or, a fake. Surely we'll know soon enough! Simpsons DVD Season 11 Limited Box Art Revealed July 24th, 2008 SOURCE: TVShowsOnDVD COMMENTS () With thanks to TVShowsOnDVD, today, we bring you the limited edition box art for The Complete Eleventh Season. Still no word on whether the standard box art will be the same in North America as it is in Australia, but given this box is clearly labeled 'Limited', there is alternate packaging and it may indeed be the one below. Simpsons DVD Season 11 Standard Box Art Revealed July 19th, 2008 SOURCE: JB HI FI COMMENTS () The standard box art for The Complete Eleventh Season has been revealed online for the first time by Australian retailer JB HIFI. The image to the left shows the new style of standard packaging -- a clear slipcase with the number '11' written on it, encasing a standard cardboard box featuring Homer. We'll update this story as soon as a larger resolution version is available. This 'Homer' box may contradict yesterdays announcement of a Krusty head box. That is still assumed to be the plan for the limited edition box, but as you can see, standard and limited edition boxes appear to no longer share the same character. We'd expect Marge, Maggie, Lisa, and Bart on the standard boxes for seasons 12, 13, 14, and 15 respectively. Thanks goes to sillygostly and Burak for the tipoff. Simpsons DVD Season Eleven DVD Due October 7 July 18th, 2008 SOURCE: TVShowsOnDVD COMMENTS () The "long-awaited" Complete Eleventh Season will finally make its way to shelves in North America on October 7, ten months later than it was expected to be released and a further two months away from the then-expected Season Twelve release. The set was delayed first by the release of The Simpsons Movie in December, while the two month delay from a predicted August release is mainly due to the writers strike held earlier this year. The packaging is yet to be released, however, all sources point to a continuation of the head-boxes, this time Krusty The Clown will be getting a run. I'd expect full box art to be revealed before the month's end, if not within a few days. Australia is currently set for a November 5 release, while the United Kingdom's preliminary date is October 6, placing its release ahead of the US. The Simpsons Simpsons Cast Seals Deal With Fox June 5th, 2008 COMMENTS () The Simpsons voice actors have sealed a four-year deal that hands them more money and solidifies the animated hit's 20th season. Production on the show has been delayed for several months as voice actors and 20th Century Fox TV hammered out a deal. New pact bumps the stars' salaries up to about $400,000 an episode; they previously made somewhere in the mid-$300,000 range. The deal, firmed up over the weekend, means most of the key cast members will be back to work and attending the show's first table read of the season this morning. Harry Shearer is still working out elements of his deal, but a firm pact is expected shortly. As part of his deal, Castellaneta has been named consulting producer on the series. He'll now serve as a writer in addition to continuing as a voice performer.		All About Lisa May 19th 2008Ratings: The Simpsons farewells its nineteenth season with its second worst ratings on record, where it has been hovering for 3 weeks in a row. 'All About Lisa' hit a mark that has only been seen once before, with 6.11 million viewers tuning in to the last episode of the show they'll get to see til September. It pushes this month's 'Any Given Sundance' to third least-watched episode of all time. A repeat of Family Guy scored 6.2 million viewers at 9.00. Here's how the last season finale's since we've been providing ratings week by week have fared. You Kent Always Say What You Want Season 18 Finale: 9.8 million Marge & Homer Turn A Couple Play Season 17 Finale: 8.2 million The Father, The Son, & The Holy Guest Star Season 16 Finale: 8.7 million Fraudcast News Season 15 Finale: 9.2 million Moe Baby Blues Season 14 Finale: 13.4 million The show appears to have lost 38% of last year's finale audience and hasn't made any significant gains or increases during the last month. Season 20 will be interesting. And it all kicks off in September 2008. COMMENTS () All About Lisa May 17th 2008Season Finale: Airs Sunday As Krusty's new assistant, Lisa steals the spotlight and gets her own television show, leaving Krusty behind. But when she's honored as Entertainer of the Year at the Springfield Media Awards, she realizes that the she may not be cut out for showbiz after all. Meanwhile, Bart and Homer spend some time bonding through their newfound love of coin-collecting. COMMENTS () Mona Leaves-a May 12th 2008Ratings: Another week, another record low. The mothers day episode in which Mona Simpson returned to visit Homer for one last time is now the least watched Simpsons episode of all time, beating the previous record holder, last week's 'Any Given Sundance'. The episode, 'Mona Leaves-a' had a total of 6.02 million viewers, just safe from the yet-unseen 5 million mark. Repeats of Family Guy (5.81 million) and American Dad (5.64 million) also failed to make a dent in the ratings for FOX. Next week's episode 'All About Lisa' is the season finale, so we'd expect numbers will be slightly up, and that this is the lowest figure you'll see til at least this time next year. COMMENTS () Mona Leaves-a May 9th 2008New Episode: Airs Sunday When Homer's mother Mona unexpectedly passes away, Homer is filled with guilt for not telling her how much he loved her before she died.
