That all sounds great! More more more. I want the Simpsons phenom to ooze like a big, brightly-colored blob into every facet of our era's culture.
Oh look... I got my wish!

[Image] From worstpreviews, "The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening spoke about a possible sequel to "The Simpsons Movie" during the Television Critics Association's semi-annual press tour. "The reason it took so many years to do first movie is we didn't want to work harder," Groening said. "It's going to be a while before a second movie. But no plans at the moment."
He added that he wants to keep doing "The Simpsons" as long as Fox will continue with the show. He elaborated on whether the salary demands of "Simpsons" cast members could result in the demise of the show: "One reason TV shows that are on the air a long time go off the air is because it becomes more expensive to do. I want everybody in this room to get rich off the 'Simpson's.' I'm happy for 'The Simpson's' cast. I want them to be as rich and happy as anybody in Hollywood."
The panel also revealed the logline of the upcoming "Simpsons" episode written by Seth Rogen (Knocked Up): Comic Books Guy creates a superhero, it's turned into feature film and Homer plays the hero. Seth plays Homer's personal trainer. Homer gets into great shape, but then when the movie is over he can't afford the personal trainer anymore and his life falls apart.
"Simpsons" executive producer Al Jean adds that "The Simpsons" will have a parody episode of "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" this fall.
