The Simpsons will air a record 500th episode tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET on FOX. After TV-watching marathons, a new star on the Walk of Fame and more hoopla, we'll finally see "At Long Last Leave." In the episode, the Simpsons are evicted from Springfield and join an off-the-grid community outside of town.

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:22:44 +0000

Mordecai, a blue jay, and Rigby, a raccoon, lead a pack of characters through misadventures on Regular Show.

StoryCorps Tells a Love Story

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:35:19 +0000

To kick off the season of love, my favorite short animation company, StoryCorps, is releasing To R.P. Salazar, with Love. It's a love story that starts with a simple typo. In January 2007, Rachel P. Salazar and Ruben P. Salazar were living 9,000 miles apart and completely unaware of each others' existence. But when an email meant for Rachel accidentally went to Ruben, it wasn't long before an ordinary mistake began to look like an extraordinary stroke of luck. Watch To R.P. Salazar, with Love. Such a sweet story with lovely animation to accompany.
