We ranked the best animated shows in TV history — did your favorite make the cut?

‘The Simpsons’ is one of the longest running shows on television, and while there aren’t enough episodes for them to officially launch their own network, they’re pretty close with 552 installments.

Never fear, ‘30 Rock‘ fans, for Tina Fey certainly won’t be out of work for long when the show begins its final season this fall on NBC.  Instead, Fey will take her signature sensibilities to ‘The Simpsons,’ guesting in the already-crowed 24th season of the long-running series.  But will ‘SNL‘s former funny-lady play herself a la Justin Bieber, or an original character?  And blerg, when will we se

Boy, that Edward Norton sure likes playing priests. From playing a minister in 2000′s ‘Keeping the Faith’ to one of his more famous roles as an altar boy in ‘Primal Fear,’ the ‘Avengers‘ dropout and ‘Bourne Legacy‘ star will once again be taking holy orders, portraying a priest for ‘The Simpsons” upcoming 24th season. But when Edward Norton hits the scene, what will become of Reverend Lovejoy? Rea

Lady Gaga‘s appearance on ‘The Simpsons’ season finale airs tonight (May 20.) She penned and performs a song, likely with the help of the show’s crack writing team, that honors little monsters in Springfield and beyond. It’s a little monster ode, one might say.

The season finale of ‘The Simpsons’ is going to be an unforgettable one, with Lady Gaga guesting. In addition to wearing 18 ensembles, the Mother Monster makes out with family matriarch Marge, which turns up the heat on her sex life with Homer. Gaga also cries diamond tears (!!!) when Lisa rejects her.

Lady Gaga‘s appearance on the season finale of ‘The Simpsons‘ airs this Sunday (May 20) on FOX, and the Mother Monster took fans behind the scenes of her visit to Springfield, which consists of double digit costume changes.

When it comes to the ladies, Bart Simpson clearly gets around, as evidenced by the smorgasbord of A-list actresses set to play Bart’s assorted exes in an episode of ‘The Simpsons‘ scheduled for early next season. Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Zooey Deschanel and Sarah Silverman will all reprise their respective roles in Bart’s love life in “Moonshine River,” set to air thi

The Fox network will be celebrating its 25th anniversary Sunday by going down memory lane with a 2 hour special Sunday night at 7.  The special will be hosted by Ryan Seacrest and will feature quite a few of the networks most famous alumni.

When it comes to fans of ‘The Simpsons,’ there are generally two camps — those who love it unconditionally and those who think it petered out in terms of quality sometime during the late ’90s. But whatever your opinion, there’s no denying that the cartoon’s ultraviolent show-within-a-show — ‘The Itchy & Scratchy Show’ — is pretty darned funny.

The 23rd season of ‘The Simpsons’ will go out with a bang, as that’s when the episode featuring Lady Gaga will air.

After 23 seasons of laughs, it's hard to imagine a world where 'The Simpsons' aren't on television. In addition to being the longest-running scripted series in TV history, 'Simpsons' quotes and references have become part of our daily vernacular. And yet, the show's storied history and the behind-the-scenes tales of how the characters came to life have been barely noticed in the large shadow its iconic characters have cast on the world.
