MONDAY (5/3)

The Simpsons Show Love for South Park
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, FOX,
If you caught the opening of The Simpsons on Sunday night, you saw the network show throw a little love toward their animated cable channel brethren - courtesy of Bart Simpson’s running opening gag.
On the ever-changing school chalkboard, Bart delivered a clear message to the South Park creators, who received death threats last week following a controversial episode of the series.
The message from The Simpsons? “South Park - We’d stand beside you if we weren’t so scared.” Classic.

Two-Part South Park Wraps on an Uneven Note
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Gossip, Video,
Update: Turns out I was wrong. Skip to the end to find out how.
Fans of South Park noticed a striking change in the second half of the “200/201” episode, which gained some attention from a radical Muslim website earlier this week. In the first half of the episode, which aired April 14, a battle developed over ownership of Mohammed. A group of celebrities including Tom Cruise, Rob Reiner, Oraph Winfrey and every other celeb who’s ever been depicted on the show battled a group of gingers who were previously featured in a South Park episode of their own. The two groups began warring over him because they wanted his power. In the episode, the show’s two hundredth, Mohammad was shown wearing a bear costume because his image cannot be depicted.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Spoilers,
FOX is planning some extra-special stuff for May sweeps, that wonderful season when ratings matter more than ever. The network has always booked the American Idol finale during May, but this year AI’s popularity seems to be cooling a bit. In case sharing the Glee time block isn’t enough to bring the reality series back up to its number 1 ratings spot, another FOX series will get getting an Idol tie-in.
That’s right: the regular Idol cast will be appearing on The Simpsons season finale. Simon Cowell, Ellen DeGeneres, Kara DioGuardi, Randy Jackson and Ryan Seacrest will lend their likenesses and voice talent to the episode, which will air on May 23. Gossip says the tie-in involves bartender Moe, who will receive an invite to judge on the reality series.
