Planet Hype and The Simpsons Oddyssey are back on the net as one megasite known as Viva Los Simpsons. The site's design is like a cross between the two sites and all of its content has been merged, creating many sections filled with all the best information and multimedia. Glad to see sites opening rather than closing. This one will be a hit. Check it out.

NY DailyNews: What's scary about the annual Simpsons Halloween special and the upcoming episodes is how the series has maintained its quality, year after year. 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 >>

One of the longest surviving Simpsons sites that shaped the community has joined the stack of sites closing recently. The Simpsons Tree is no more, with a number of factors attributing to its closure. Nate is too tired to continue with the site, and as well a number of character sites are closing, thus leaving not much to link (a similar circumstance that occured with us). The site may reopen if the community picks up pace in the forseeable future.

One piece of news from earlier this week which I couldn't let go un-noticed is the redesign of Call Of The Simpsons. This german fansite is celebrating its third year online with the excellent new look and a large content update. While I cannot read the german site I can see this is one with a lot to offer, and I have added it to the random link rotation on the right.

We're back once again after looking like we were going to disappear from the net. Even I was convinced it would happen, but here we are, small, compact, and missing a huge chunk of our content. We aim to be your source for Simpsons news, be it web news or show info, we'll post it here at The Simpsons Channel.

Where's the links? What was our prime focus is now reduced to a small column to the left. And it's totally random. The community simply doesn't have enough sites to require a completely categorized linking system and so we do not see this as our focus anymore. It's gone. This new format will be worked on by a number of helpers whom have yet to be chosen. Below is our first "show news". The topic of each news item is distinguished by an icon before the headline. We'll paraphrase some key points of the article and then link you to the rest.

Before you complain about the new format, know this: in it's previous state, The Simpsons Channel was going to close. Our domain expires on December 22nd, so that means this site is on a two month trial period. If all is well after then we will continue with the site. Spread the word and keep The Simpsons Channel alive and kicking.

Canada.com: Human cloning, gun control and H.G. Wells' Island of Lost Souls are all parodied on the traditional instalment of The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror this year. In the new Treehouse episode, the 14th, Homer discovers a way to create clones of himself to do the household chores. But then one of the clones accidentally beheads neighbour Ned Flanders.
