LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Viewers who take
pleasure in the antics of Bart and Homer Simpson will be
treated to an exclusive online look at the season-premiere
episode of "The Simpsons" beginning Friday, two days before its
network debut on Fox.
The first seven minutes will be streamed on a bevy of sites
owned by the network's News Corp. parent, including
MySpace.com, Fox.com and igntv.com.
Additionally, the 18th season premiere will be heralded via
such promotions as "Homer's Week 1 NFL picks" on FoxSports.com
on MSN; AskMen.com becoming "Ask Homer" for a day; and the home
page of RottenTomatoes.com displaying a "'Simpsons'-style
graphic takeover."
