The latest news doing the rounds is that a game based on The Simpsons Movie, suitably dubbed The Simpsons Game, is currently in development by Electronic Arts. The news comes to light after a number of retailer product listings added the game over the weekend.


According to the listings, the tentatively-titled game is set to land on Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, Xbox 360, PSP. Beyond that, nothing more is known, although if the game is based on the movie, it should be out around the time of its launch. EB Games lists the release date as November 1st, but this is probably a cautionary default on their behalf. We'll have more news as soon as it comes to hand.

Video Highlight: Couch Gag

A total of 6.91 million viewers were drawn to Sunday's new episode "Homerazzi."

The lowest figure on record is 6.2 million for Season 15s "The Way We Weren't" in 2004, which puts Homerazzi among one of the least watched episodes in its first run.

Family Guy trumped the show, with 7.97 million viewers. The Simpsons was beaten by The Amazing Race, Extreme Home Makeover, and Grease: You're The One That I Want. FOX came fourth in overall figures for the night but second among adults 18-49, being beaten by CBS.

Family Guy wedged between the two was up there with 8.52 million.

FOX came fourth overall but third ahead of NBC among adults 18 - 49. Home Edition and The Amazing Race finished ahead of The Simpsons at the 8pm hour, all beating out NBC's 'Grease - You're The One That I Want'.
