'The Simpsons' features first episode

Sunday is a big episode of ‘The Simpsons’ on FOX. It's the first time the show stars deaf and hearing-impaired voiceover actors. The all-new episode is called "The Sound of Bleeding Gums." It follows Lisa Simpson meeting the son of her blues idol, late musician Bleeding Gums Murphy, whom she learns was born deaf and wanted a cochlear implant.


Lisa gets excited to help, only to be humbled, learning there are no limits to what he can do for himself.


The character, named Monk, is played by actor John Autry II, who is hearing impaired.


The episode features a total of six deaf voice actors, also including comedian Kathy Buckley and three kids from the No Limits organization. The show worked with No Limits on the episode; it's an organization with performing arts and other programs for deaf children and families. 


Hollywood has been taking steps forward in deaf representation. This past Oscars honored ‘Coda’ as best picture, the first time the award has been given to a film with a predominantly deaf cast and the movie brought attention to deaf representation all award season.

The Simpsons: The Show's Glorious App Is Gone Forever


What if there was an app where you could watch any Simpsons episode you wanted at any time?  


OK, fair, that app is called Disney+.


But what if that app also was crammed full of Simpsons featurettes, commentaries, playlists, deleted scenes, and more?  


And what if we told you that, unlike Disney+, that app was free? (Sort of.) Wouldn’t you be sort of … giddy?  Back in 2014, that was fans' reaction when logging into the newly launched Simpsons World. One Slate writer described the feeling as, “in the words of Homer at the Candy Convention, ‘like a kid in some kind of a store.’”


Simpsons World would be crazy-ambitious in 2022.  The idea that developers were trying to pull it off in 2014 is mind-blowing.  Here’s what you got:


 * Access to all 552 (at the time) episodes, available on demand


 * “Everything Simpsons,” a newsfeed with the latest buzz on the show


 * “The Simpsons Heartbeat,” a feature that sorted episodes by popularity


 * A search function that allowed users to search by episode, joke, or guest star


 * “Did You Know?” fun facts, social media posts, and curated playlists


 And that was just the beginning!  More features were added, including advanced search that indexed every single word of every single episode.  Playlists were promised so you could watch episodes written by your favorite Simpsons scribes. You could even watch in Script Mode, with the screenplay running alongside the episode in real-time.


 As legendary Simpsons producer Al Jean said when it launched, “Hello ‘Simpsons World,’ goodbye free time!  Seriously.”


It all sounds too good to be true, and it actually existed! But if Simpsons World was so amazing -- why weren’t more people talking about it?  And where did it go?
