Simpsons Channel

Fox have released a second promotional image for Sunday February 21st’s premiere of “The Color Yellow”. When Lisa discovers that her Southern ancestors helped a slave named Virgil (guest voice Wren T. Brown) escape to freedom, she presents her family’s story during Black History Month.

In the space of three weeks, The Simpsons can go from having its highest ratings in five years, to the lowest ratings of all time in the very next episode. Last night’s episode drew a meager 5.11 million viewers. Seeing an animated Coldplay or a ‘viewer-designed’ character couldn’t save the show, and indeed, Fox, from being slaughtered by the competition.
