Adam — Tue, 20 May 2008 02:38:07 +0000

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.

Simon Cowell met his match when the Simpsons panned his attempt at singing The Pussycat Dolls’ hit Don’t Cha in a special TV charity show. The show’s charity special featuring Bono and Madonna raised money for kids in Africa and America. Idol Gives Back screened by US TV included live performances from Annie Lennox and Kelly Clarkson as well as the talent show’s contestants. You can view the Simpsons clip below.

Lisa Simpson Shows Up Fantasia

While American Idol 3 winner Fantasia Barrino gears up for her next single release, also on her agenda is another post-”Idol” TV gig. After playing Aretha Franklin on “American Dreams” and appearing on “All of Us” last year, she’s returning to the small screen for a guest role on The Simpsons. “When you do ‘The Simpsons,’ that’s major,” Fantasia said. “That’s like a big-time cartoon that everybody watches. When they called me, I was like, ‘Of course I’ll do it!’ I played Clarissa and I’m singing up against Lisa [in an 'American Idol'-like competition], and she wins. I was kind of hurt about it and I had to do this big crying scene and I was like, ‘How am I going to cry?’ And I started having flashbacks of how my baby cried all the time when I’m at home, so it wasn’t too hard.” No details on this episode have been released yet but it could possibly air at the end of this season or the beginning of the next.

Lisa Simpson Wants More

Adam — Sat, 19 Feb 2005 05:35:12 +0000

Yeardley Smith spent most of her adult life wanting more: More success, more fame, more beauty. Impossibly successful by any standard, the Emmy-winning actress has a plum role in the longest running American sitcom. But until recently, that just hadn’t been enough. Sure, you may not have heard of Smith, but there is little doubt you’ve heard her. She has been eight years old for 16 years. She is the voice of Lisa Simpson. Smith is also currently the subject of her own one-woman show, called “More,” which chronicles her lonely childhood, her runaway ambition and 25 years of battling bulimia. Her eating disorder began before she had even turned 13 and, despite frequent roles in film and on television, was exacerbated by failing her goal of winning an Oscar by the age of 30. Read More >>>

Lisa Welcome To Apply

“Local women’s college officials reacted with humor to the national attention Smith and Mount Holyoke received in a recent episode of The Simpsons. Lisa Simpson was tempted to cheat in a spelling bee and lose to win a scholarship to one of the Seven Sisters colleges. “Lisa Simpson is welcome to apply to Smith – and she doesn’t need to throw a spelling bee to strengthen her case,” said Laurie Fenlason, Smith’s media relations director. “She’s smart, witty, talented and independent. She’d be in good company here.” Jane Brown, vice president for enrollment at Mount Holyoke, commented, “We say bravo to Lisa for refusing to throw the spelling bee, even though her scruples cost her a free college education. “Lisa sounds like the kind of bright, talented, principled, independent young women who thrive at Mount Holyoke,” Brown added. “We would certainly consider her for early admission — or, in her case, early, early, early admission.” Read More >>>

Lisa Simpson: Role Model

“Remember the episode of The Simpsons where Lisa decides to go vegetarian after petting a baby lamb at the children’s zoo? Sara Schwartzman does. That half-our of television sent the Weston 16-year-old down the road toward vegetarianism five years ago. “See, television can positively affect children,” jokes Sara, a junior at Cypress Bay High School who eats no meat, fish nor fowl, nor candy and gum that contains gelatin. Whether it’s television, peer pressure, concern for animal rights or a way to distance themselves from their family, a growing number of teens and college students are following Lisa Simpson’s lead and giving up meat.” Read More >>>
