Who says The Simpsons don't age??

This Sunday night, "The Simpsons" turn 20 yrs old and the Internet is going viral with excitement (I mean, hey, they're almost drinking age!). 

For those who don't know (welcome to Earth!) - our very own Harry Shearer performs a huge range of the voices for the characters on "The Simpsons", including (but not limited to):

  • Mr. Burns
  • Waylon Smithers
  • Ned Flanders
  • Principal Skinner
  • Otto
  • Reverend Lovejoy
  • Dr Hibbert
  • Kent Brockman
  • Jasper
  • Lenny
  • Eddie (the cop)
  • Rainier Wolfcastle (McBain)
  • Scratchy
  • Kang
  • Mr. Bouvier (Marge's father)
  • Dr. Marvin Monroe
  • Herman
  • Mr. Largo
  • Marty (from KBBL)
  • Dr Loren J. Pryor
  • Jebediah Springfield
  • Judge Snyder
  • Sanjay (Apu's brother)


Wow!

Harry was featured in an interview with the Associated Press, and from there - it's spreading like a Winter Cold across the globe!

Here's a sneak peek:

Shearer, who began his career as a child actor... keeps a multiplicity of projects under way. He hosts his own signature channel on the "My Damn Channel" comedy Web site.

"Matt [Groening] has a satirical, anti-authority streak," says Shearer. "From the beginning, 'The Simpsons' was taking the side of the family against all the authority figures and institutions that buffeted them in the modern world. Certainly, that resonated for me."

To celebrate - we're asking all of our readers/fans to dress up as Ned and attend church this Sunday (JUST KIDDING).  In all seriousness, check out some of the awesome articles going around on the web with Harry's exclusive interview and don't make plans this Sunday evening.  This week's episode ("Once Upon a Time in Springfield") will be one you won't want to miss!


(It doesn't hurt that they're mentioning My Damn Channel, either... whoo-hoo!!)
