Last night, The Simpsons visited New York City in 'Moonshine River', the episode that kicked off the 24th season of the longest running cartoon series in history.
In the episode, dedicated to singer Andy Williams, who past away only days before, Bart revisited several old girlfriends and learned that one of them, farm girl Mary Spuckler, was in trouble and has ran off to the big city. In search for his lost love, he takes the whole family on a trip to the Big Apple and while there, Lisa gets to visit Broadway.
Actress Zooey Deschanel returned to the show to voice the character of Mary Spuckler (as she did in the 19th season episode 'Apocalypse Cow') while an all star cast including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman and Sarah Silverman voiced Bart's other girlfriends from the past. This was the first episode from the two additional seasons Fox committed to after long contract renegotiations last year, although producer Al Jean still hopes the show will go on to see it's 30th season by the end of the decade. Next up, is another 'Tree house of Horror' episode (the 13th time!), a recurring theme on 'The Simpsons' around Halloween each year, which will include a parody on the Mayan calendar this time around.
On February 19th last year, the 500th episode 'At long last leave' aired, written by Michael Price and directed by Matthew Nastuk, it featured founder of Wiki-leaks Julian Assange among the voice cast. Click the images below to check out some of 'The Simpsons' model sheets!
