If you care then you already know that tonight is a special night for The Simpsons. Fox airs the 450th episode at 8pm, to be followed at 8:30 by The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special — In 3-D! On Ice!. Simpsons creators hired Morgan Spurlock of all people to produce the documentary special. I will be watching/listening to the musical montage with interest.
Starting in the summer Mr. Spurlock and his crew scoured the globe for “Simpsons” diehards, finding plenty of celebrities who were admirers of the cartoon clan: Dan Rather talks about his “Simpsons” analogue, the self-satisfied news anchor, Kent Brockman, and a rogue’s gallery of rock musicians from Flea to Andrew W. K. plays portions of the show’s opening theme in a musical montage.
(Andrew seen here in a cameo appearance on Aqua Teen Hunger Force)
