The Simpsons Are Going To Comic Con!

Tomorrow at 12:00pm in Ballroom 20, some of the cast a crew of the Simpson's will attend Comic Con for a special Q&A session and a sneak peek or two.

During the panel, which will last 45 minutes, attendees will be treated to details of their landmark 27th season, a chance to ask those on the panel some questions and a sneak peek into this years highly anticipated Treehouse of Horror Halloween special.

Come back here shortly after the panel where I hope to have a break down of what went on and if all goes well, my hands on that Treehouse of Horror preview video for you.

Harry Shearer Is Back!

As many of you may have heard by now, voice artist Harry Shearer quit the Simpsons back in May. He announced his departure via his Twitter account and immediately there was uproar regarding his decision.

Harry Shearer voices some of the Simpsons most popular and beloved characters including Mr. Burns and Ned Flanders. It was rumoured at the time of his departure was related to compensation for his time in the show, a claim he later refuted and instead said it was more to do with wanting more freedom to do other things, freedom he says was not possible under the shows schedule.

One of the shows producers Al Jean said at the time that there was a plan in place in order to keep the show going in the event that Harry Shearer did not come back. He says that instead of retiring a whole host of popular characters, they would simply recast and find somebody else to voice the characters.

Fast forward to today and EW is reporting that a deal has been reached between both parties and Harry Shearer will be returning for the new season. Production in the new season has already commenced and is currently seven episodes into filming. Luckily though, Harry Shearer had banked up enough time off that it covered all of the seven episodes already filmed so he in no way interfered with the production of the new series which will still air as scheduled later this year.

Season 27 of the Simpsons returns to FOX, rather appropriately, on September 27th.
